Re: a waste said by ColorBASIC:It's not a dominant force in our lives. You live in a DSLR tech bubble. According to Pew, the majority of Americans, while having internet service, aren't obsessed with it. And even if people suddenly became obsessed, 100Mb symmetrical is overkill and unrealistic. Dominant is a vague term. Electricity is dominant. Water is dominant. A 100Mb internet ain't. Yes, of course 100mbit isn't really needed by the average person TODAY... But there is no telling what the average person will be needing in 2015. Look at how many average people use YouTube, P2P, etc nowadays... A lot of this stuff was unheard of on dialup since it took hours to do what we can do in seconds or minutes on broadband... It is slowly, but surely taking a dominant role. The internet is the backbone of this country. Sheer massive quantities of bandwidth might not be required right now, but most people aren't comfortable with dialup any longer... I think the sweet spot is 1-5mbit, which is broadband. Don't forget that the majority of internet users are now on broadband.

| I can tell you what the average pieces of crap across the street from me will be doing in 2015
they will be doing time in jail.....they will be dead.....or they will be doing just what they do every day.....sitting on their ass on the old couch on the porch while their 18-23 yo kids have a jammy jam in the front yard and bootleg and deal and watch their fatherless kids/cousins/borthers/sisters play on the toys they borrowed from the neighbors yard
unless the internet offers them a faster way to alert their "clients" than text messaging that it is time to swing by and leave a few peeps in the hooptie with the thumps on while one runs in for a 40 or something they can clinch in their fist....my neighbors will never need 100mb.....no matter how big a part of the hood they work |
