| Carrot and stick
Commercial entities always use carrot and stick to get what they want. It's what they do.
However, I don't believe that bandwidth providers are intimating a bandwidth armageddon. Most of the talk you hear is intended for investors. When they talk about 'enhanced services' (that's the phrase they use, here it's called 'tiered service'), I think that mostly it's just about innovation, trying to envision what service a customer may want and figuring out how to provide that service, and letting investors know that they are actually working. As much as people here love to hate these providers, you wouldn't be reading this now without them.
BTW, I never considered Cisco an infrastructure lobbyist. Interesting take. |
