Re: sooner or later and your wife is the 'average' user ?
I consider myself a high end user - but don't upload nearly anything in comparison.
I do suspect that online backups will be a more common item, requiring bandwidth chewing upload (actually more than download in some cases).
I think what needs to be defined is 'AVERAGE'.
What percent upload that kind of data vs. spend hours on YouTube (yeah - some will be uploading lots of video!) and Facebook.

| and your wife is the 'average' user ?
She's not far off. She only just seriously started tinkering with video creation. Besides, "average" is a loose definition, and today's "extreme" user is tomorrow's average user. I see no problem with a phone company taking the impressive profits of today and investing them into the network of tomorrow in anticipation of this wave. |

They just about cover the cost of capital. And I am sure the investors are not so cavalier about investing all their profits before it is REALLY needed. |

1 edit | 1st the profits are NOT that impressive. AT&T's profits absolutely are impressive, especially when looking at wireless. I have no idea what planet you're living on if you think otherwise.And I am sure the investors are not so cavalier about investing all their profits before it is REALLY needed. Investors are frequently myopic ninnies who can't see five feet in front of their own short term interests, and their perspective is not reality. They're building card houses, not networks. |
