It's getting to be enough of a pattern that for:
* business reasons, people with "bandwidth saving" or "network management" equipment are jumping on the "running out of bandwidth" wagon to make sales;
* for political reasons, the telcos and their congressional lackeys are jumping on the bandwagon to "prove" that a bandwidth apocalypse is nigh and they have to implement network management, charge more, etc. (coincidentally, the network management part seems to mostly or only effect content sharing activities)
even if more bandwidth capacity is needed, everything I've read that doesn't seem to push an agenda indicates it is not a big deal and wouldn't cost much to simply increase capacity. |
