Interesting Expectations

Found here: »www.jefferies.com/pdfs/confs/090···lInc.pdf




"Current higher usage levels expected to decline over time" -- yeah, because that's how the Internet works! (Fact: Per-user consumption continues to increase year after year and has NEVER dipped.) (more)

So for Cricket Wireless to pull off a bandwidth coup that reverses Internet history, it really can only do two things -- fail to keep up with growing user demands resulting in each user getting smaller and smaller portions of a shared pool or delay/deny/degrade users Internet connections.

Question for the classroom: Since the "America Offline" debacle, has any residential broadband provider ever temporarily stopped taking new subscriptions because its systems were currently at capacity in a particular area?

What you do at Christmas does not matter so much; What counts are the Christmas things you do all year through.

Verizon refuses to give me residential DSL even though I'm 5000ft from CO because they claim my central office is at capacity. They even mailed me the modem before they realized they were full and then cancelled my acct.
