Re: Screwed world wide

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.
