1 edit | it is a no win situation... Hey Yall,
I've read many posts here that I agree with. My thoughts on this, companies need to be able to increase revenue each day/month/year to build share holder value. In a tight market you need to build with as little overhead as possible. If the long term return-on-investment can't be visualized with a positive outcome, why do it? (we are capitilists-maybe.)Okay think about it this way. The appliance salesman probably spent as much time trying to sell you one of those scam insurance policies as they did to sell you the appliance itself. So back to the broadband issue, they want to increase revenue on the pipes they already have. Spam control, mail filters etc. Things you can get elsewhere and in many cases free. But it allows them(isp, cable etc.) to grab some chump change without having to upgrade THERE existing infrastructure.
Besides, with lawsuits over file sharing and P2P software laws being pushed. Any company worth its weight knows it could be a rough ride as the bandwidth potential increases.
I personally look forward to meeting our Fiber Optic overlords!
Joe
