I don't know about you, but this is not the type of thing that keeps me up at night. Are you the type of person that thinks that potato chips and computer chips are the same thing?
The speed factor is not important what is important is the technological factor and that SHOULD keep you up all night. It means that we as a country are not investing in the future particularly in a technology that WE invented.
It is like the car business, we used to make cars that people wanted and now look at the situation that our 3 big car manufacturers are in. Toyota, Honda and others make much better cars than we do why? because we failed to adapt and invest in future technologies. I bet the 3 American manufacturers said in the 80's that "Fuel economy and quality are not the type of things that keep us up all night" | |

| Re: Screwed world wide said by degauss1 :You're still missing the point. It's not about downloading 'Buffy'. It IS about the infrastructure that supports moving any data. That means business, entertainment, communications - ANYTHING. If we let our network infrastructure lag behind we become less able to ADAPT to changes in paradigm and therefore less competitive in the world economy. How am I missing the point? Explain to me how the average home user uses/needs all this bandwidth -- keeping in mind that business generally get and have available what they need.
Sending movies across the internet to our homes is not going to save the economy.
Here's an idea: let's do something stupid like, oh I don't know, invest in making something in this country? You know, manufacturing something.
Ultra high speed broadband to the home is a luxury.
