Re: Its just as I have been saying all along.....
In order to compete in the "World Economy" which is being preached to us by these very corporations providing our services, we need to be faster than everyone else.
Your ""Everyone needs 100Mbps connections for $10 per month"......"
Doesnt cut it.
""Broadband penetration" is now treated as a key economic indicator."
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband_···t_access
--
‘Do ye, quieting in your bosoms your strong hearts,
Who of many good things have had your fill even to surfeit,
With what is moderate nourish your mighty desire; for neither will
We yield, nor shall you have all else as you wish.’

| i don't consider wikipedia a reliable source. the cites for that quote are also weak. all those 'cites' just compare broadband penetration and prices, barely (well, i didn't spot anything in a quick read) anything on how it (broadband penetration) correlates to economic standing of a country. all it is, is just another statistic that can be used to compare countries, just like anything else. |

1 edit | Consider that they can get things done faster than us, and cheaper.
In the 80's I worked for a company that sold PC computer systems to automotive companys to run thier business. A lot of companys still used old outdated, paper.
The companys that we installed systems were able to save 50% of labor cost of doing it the old way.
Just the Okidata printers alone ...  |

| If I have a 20MB FIOS connection, I'm only going to download the latest security update from Apple/Microsoft/Sun/HP/RedHat as fast as their servers can dish it out. What kind of "power user" has this magic wand that can clear data storms and packet loss, traffic shaping and node congestion to get their data delivered faster than I can on my 6mbps line? |
