| Qualcomm's chief executive not so bright.  Qualcomm's chief executive Paul Jacobs' wants to punish customers who use their wireless broadband connection. I guess customers should be punished for downloading updates to maintain the security of their computers. A customer downloading Windows XP SP-3 234MB and security updates for their applications is obviously abusing the network and should be dealt with. Solution: Ration service by charging customers putative overage fees or throttling their service.
In reality the wireless data service providers are suffering from the same plague that the Local Exchange Carriers experienced in the late 90's. Insufficient capacity. In the 90's the LEC's solution to too many customers accessing their dial up internet accounts and causing congestion to the network was to punish customers or ISP's financially. The LEC management tried to force all ISP's to measured rate service with high per minute connection fees. The FCC said no. On the other hand I can see the wireless ISP's objecting to customers downloading 10GB HD Movie Files. |
