kudos:1 | Get out and push Perhaps if AT&T was serious about upgrading its network to support the inevitable march to 10Mbps (to start with) up to 100Mbps (like S. Korea & other countries), then perhaps they'll get more subscribers.
When you're watching a movie via the Netflix Roku on your new 50" LCD, your son is using Xbox Live to vanquish pixelated beasties, your daughter is pulling down (legal) MP3s via Napster to fill her Creative player, and your wife is at work watching the latest Lifetime movie of the week via Slingbox, people will clamor for faster and more bandwidth.
In the coming years, as VoD and other video services become commonplace, AT&T would do well to upgrade its network to stave off the cable competition.
To paraphrase a slogan from my "primary color" employer, this is and will become very much an on-demand world and broadband infrastructure has stagnated since the heady days of late 1999 - 2000, when broadband was aggressively rolled out. To borrow something else from my current employer, as a lesson they learned in the 90s, you either innovate or evolve....or you die.
And now they're stronger than ever. AT&T, are you listening?
