| 80 Billion Fiasco that we the customer end up paying.
The great thing about ARI Research and here is both can cry all they want about needing 100Mbit Fiber to the home but have do not have to pay the bill. I see Fiber to the home is a is load of bull. Many web applications can work on far less if they become more efficient. As for video as some one noted as analog channels are removed it will open up more bandwidth. As for HDTV as a consumer I still on the fence I see not need more that regular LCD TV. Instead, more efficiency is need like traffic shaping and switched digital video. Also all these traffic hogs need get a life, the cable companies are not all you can buffets: get out you mamas basement, get a life and deal with it. |

| I see, so anyone who does have the same use pattern as you for the internet needs to "get a life and deal with it." Forget the fact that some of us have home offices, etc.
Good to know. Nevermind the fact that people with minimal usage patterns are what are keeping the internet at a perpetually mundane level of development. -- Prove it... Save the Internet Time (NTP) service, use the pool. |

| Well I happed to work in an office with 500 other personnel and 200 and the corporation connects to the wan off 6 bonded T1. I also run an web story and sell on eBay I do not use 1/2 of the available 6Mbit bandwidth give to me on the average. Oh yes the engineer I work with some time works form home with 1.5DSL connect back to VPN.
WE need to use what we have more efficiently, I.E. traffic shaping, cashing to the intranet etc. rather than speeding 80 billion for a 100Mbit thrill ride for a very small majority. |

| Like they say, you build and they will come. Staying where we are today in terms of connectivity just because someone claims there is a bandwidth shortage (and there isn't) will prevent a who new generation of services that are totally overdue. -- Prove it...
