Okay, PRETEND that I believe (I definitely do not). So what's worse?
1. You can't do the things you want because the Internet is overloaded?
or
2. You can't do the things you want because your ISP prohibits or limits it?

3. You are a slave to the machine, you will be assimilated, you have no chance to survive, make your time 
This is so dumb.
"The amount of traffic generated each month by YouTube is now equivalent to the amount of traffic generated across the entire internet in all of 2000."
Really? I thought the internet was stuck in 1997 
Even back then, videos online were pretty popular. Granted, you needed to be on a fast connection, but Windows Media and Real streams were definitely out there. Now we have a plethora of arguably worse quality flash based video everywhere - anybody with a computer can post completely pointless videos, and anybody can view them.
Wonder if anyone has bothered to look at something like this...

...We've managed to keep up so far... And at some point, even if IPV6 does take off, and everything has an IP address, is online, and chatting about pointlessness, we'll still have a pretty good chance of being "caught up" enough to handle everything.
In other news, by 2012 we still won't have transporter technology, replicators, or warp drive ...due to our poor clogged interweb tubes I'm sure  |

You can't do the things you want because your ISP prohibits or limits it? Common sense says that ISPs wouldn't let this happen. They will need sufficient capacity to (at the least) maintain their present customer base, and bring on new subscribers. Would they disappoint their user base to the point of attrition? For me to believe what the carriers are claiming, I would need ignore the history of the internet and how all of the players came to where they are today, and I would need to assume that any ISP that is promising to improve their network is telling a lie.
If my Comcast cable internet were to perform as Nemertes Research would have you believe it will, I wouldn't be paying my bill, and neither will you. For what reason would Comcast allow that to happen?
Nemertes Research needs an enema. They have no idea how the real world works and they should be considered dangerous. |
