Bandwidth isn't infinite either - because the money to keep increasing it isn't infinite.

| However the money to keep increasing it is quite plentiful. Considering the speeds in other countries are literally 10 to 20 times faster than in the most powerful country on earth, and the US companies providing "broadband" are making record profits in the midst of a global recession, and that across the majority of the country speeds haven't increased for years as these companies took advantage of their monopoly/duopoly positions, I'd say we're far, *far* away from seeing the technological upper limit. |

There appears to be ::PLENTY:: of money available for certain members of the banking industry as evidenced by multiple installment bailout amounts for Citibank et al. The American taxpayer will just be squeezed infinitely to finance private folly. Why would the ISP industry be any different given that the telcos/cable cos. own the Congre$$ional whores representatives part & parcel almost as thoroughly as AIG & Citibank do. |

The argument comes up all the time that we are running out of bandwidth as if bandwidth was a finite resource.
Try to keep up. |
