nasadude join:2001-10-05 Rockville, MD Reviews: ·Verizon FiOS	reply to bobjohnson Re: FAP and CAP said by bobjohnson: What is the issue with the biggest providers wanting to cap and such... they would like to have metered broadband where we pay by the bit, but to do that they first are going to pretend there is a "bandwidth crunch". Because there is a "bandwidth crunch", it's necessary to do all these things to "save" bandwidth. incidentally, this will also allow them to slow down upgrades, eventually making the "bandwidth crunch" a reality as their network fails to keep pace with demand. implementing all these caps and throttles also sets them up for the next step - prioritizing their content over other content. Watch something on Hulu? that's gonna cost ya! on the other hand, you can get this other programming free from the comcast portal! without competition, they do whatever they want.

They won't do that because it will set off a firestorm of "network neutrality" issues with the FCC and others(including content providers). -- My BLOG .. .. Internet News .. ..
