1 edit | Let them bet their jobs on it
These pseudo-journalists and industry backed think tanks should quit the business when they're wrong. Let them bet their jobs on their unfounded prognostications.
Even Al Gore is smart enough to put the doomsday date far out enough that he can retire on all the speaking money. |

1 edit | Well, take it like this. The internet itself is fine. No where near close to being overloaded (proven by the Obama Inauguration day when internet usage peaked). The last mile, sure I can see why they're saying this when it comes down to that (looking at non-DOCSIS 3.0 networks). But the way they're making it sound is quite iffy. If the internet was having brownouts, I would have noticed something up with both of my connections by now.

Seriously though, these clowns @ Nemertes are just taking a page from the current theme of municiple, county, state and federal governance;that there needs to be a crisis in order to implement solutions that wouldn't normally pass through any form of legislature.
It's really f***ing sad its come to this point! |

1 edit | But this is far worse than weather. It would be like the local weather guy in Oregon claiming that a Hurricane is coming next month and saying it once or twice a year while his cousin is in the storm shutter business. |

If the internet was having brownouts, I would have noticed something up with both of my connections by now. I don't even agree with the last mile argument. The technology is out there where the last mile would not be an issue. The issue is that corporations are too cheap and too worried about their bottom line to make the last mile a non-issue. |
