Re: The Way the Internet Should Be

You are missing the point... You read the words, but you decide what meaning come out of them.

My point would be, using your TV, or the internet, shouldn't lead one to feel as though they are somehow abusing the system, because they enjoy it one way or another.

Just because the systems don't work the same, to the end user, they are no different, and frankly, no one should have to worry about how much, or how little they use them.

After all, both systems are more or less sold in the same manner, TV could just as easily have small text some place, telling you not to watch more than X hours a week, just like some internet service providers hide usage limits in small text.

Sooner or later, the average users will catch up with the heavy users, in what they expect for their dollars.

Re: The Way the Internet Should Be

I got your point, gatorkram. We should view them both as an appliance, to be turned on and used at will. They are just "there" to be used - not to worry about how much we are using them, or what we are using them for. The only concern should be ease of use and ready access - not content monitoring, throttling, or whatever.

Expand the networks to meet the need, instead of trying regulate usage to save capital expenditure. Those companies who can't or won't should be subsumed by those who have the foresight to see what future needs will be. Computer usage should be ubiquitous, not worrisome.
