Re: better be by a lot. Most of those same countries have 50Mbps(plus) available for sub $50 a month and many have 100Mbps available(at sub $80) in most metro areas. I would also remind you that much of the internet backbone in the US was made with government funding (1996?).
Cable has always been shared, it is shared with D1 and it will still be shared with D3. If you follow the latest studies management compensation went from 40X average employee in the 80-90s to 4000X now. Take some of that money and split the nodes. Instead of 250 home switch to 125, you could stick with docsis 1 until the prices drop, bring speeds up to 20Mbps, and still not have any more congestion than we have currently(no caps needed). |
