Re: Zero justification for it
»Bell Canada Offers 'Proof' Throttling Was Necessary
Dave Burstein also has some interesting comments regarding Verizon and AT&T. While AT&T is claiming a need for caps, behind the scenes AT&T says they have no capacity crunch as traffic shifts from P2P to video. »www.interesting-people.org/archi···265.html said by Dave Burstein :
Verizon, AT&T, and Free.fr are strongly on the record they do not have significant congestion problems.
said by Dave Burstein :
AT&T has sensible plans to handle the load without disruption. They are already moving from 10 gig to 40 gig in the core, and planning a transition to 100 gig in a few years. The current projections are they can do these upgrades without raising capex, bringing per bit costs down along a Moore's Law curve and keeping bandwidth costs per user essentially unchanged. Most of the optical vendors believe they can meet those goals, although some worry that the pace of innovation may slow down as the optical components industry is struggling.
That's quite different from AT&Ts call for metered billing this Fall. I'm not that familiar with Dave Burstein but he appears to be well accepted in the 'community'. He also comments on Bell Canada as well. |
