Re: Supply will increase with demand

Increasing bandwidth by a factor of 2 at the home (per line), would require capacity at the backhaul to increase substantially, if that capacity is not already there.
Items such as sniffing (AT&T's anti-piracy attempt), and throttling (Sandvine - Comcast, COX, and others) are attempts at allowing the Telcos/Cableco's to have their cake and eat it too.
Eg. We'll give you 50Mbps, but you can only download HTML and items through our portal.

If they _really_ want to push that kind of service, they _should_ call it AOL or something else, not 'Internet'.
