Re: Profits said by Corehhi:Chicken and the egg. If ISP charge for more bandwidth they won't raise the caps or tiers. First problem is TV, you will have no choice but to have your TV provider be your internet provider if not your internet bill will be huge when HD TV gets to become standard. It goes on and on. It's only a chicken/egg situation if you're talking about the fact that 100 Mbps connections aren't deployed to all consumers. In a bill for usage scenario, you won't have caps or tiers. I don't understand your comment about TV. Why would your TV provider have to be your ISP? What are your "on and on" problems? |

I couldn't get high speed till 5 years ago and that was 1 meg down. I was upgraded for free to 3 megs probably a year and a half ago. I can't purchase a higher tier period. Unless I get a T1.
Just thought about it. I was thinking the TV might be sent over the internet as in movies. Movie on demand. If you had a different company as your internet provider those movies would send you right over any limit they set up. Same with VoIP. If you have company deliver everything it wouldn't be a problem but what if you order HD movies every other night> Usage would be huge. |

kudos:2 | The 100 Mbps connection is hypothetical. It really doesn't matter what the connection is as long as you have a connection. Where are you getting HD movies on demand over the Internet? Even if you are, time to start sharing that cost with your transit provider. I'll grant you VoIP consumes a portion of your bandwidth, but honestly, the requirements are so low that unless you use it 24/7, I don't think you'd have a problem. |
