Re: It's pretty sweet
But the corporation is ALREADY paying the corporation. Or do you think Direct-TV is a free backbone provider? DirectTV can't SEND the data any faster than their pipes allow. In the end, there shouldn't be any change in the services/pricing, since everyone is ALREADY compensated for whatever bandwidth they are using.
What I would REALLY like to see, is DirectTV to use a torrent based system to provide the shows. That would allow them to provide MUCH faster bandwith, to many more people, at the same time. Guess what COMCRAP, your little sandvine experiment will come crashing to the ground, as net neutrality advocates will most CERTAINLY have a case to argue that the technology is interfering with LEGITIMATE traffic.
The ONLY solution, which is the one I advocate, is that the ISP's only SELL what they CAN PROVIDE. If comcast is incapable, or unwilling to provide the bandwidth THEY ARE SELLING, then they either need to lower the speed, OR upgrade their networks to provide WHAT THEY ADVERTISE.
