Re: LoL Not sure how it will play out with Google fiber, but there is also the risk that a "too fast" connection could be shared over wifi by several households. 1 subscription could provide excellent speeds to 10-20 houses |

which is why you would want to offer it at a price point that is low enough to make sharing unnecessary. a 'budget' tier would make sharing even more unnecessary. kinda like how google is doing it. 
The real question is if Google can operate a network with those speeds and at least break even at that price-point. I'm skeptical, but Google has said that they want to prove it can be done. |

They can, the question is if they can build out such a network with decent contention ratios while still making money. One suspects the contention ratios are probably fairly high, given the fact that very few households will use even a fraction of this bandwidth on a sustained basis. It will be interesting to see how the network holds up if a mainstream 'killer app' appears that actually uses this kind of bandwidth. |

That sounds like a good way to get busted for CP when Chester the Molester decides to get his rocks off and your name is the one tied to the subscription. |

If that were the case, people would already be doing that with cable. A lot of people do in multi-family homes. |

For one song, it seems like a small sum, but it adds up fast. Especially when you plot the amount of music the average teenager can consume vs. their income.
$0.10 a song, that might do something.

except that in order to get busted for CP, you have to be in possession of CP, or have participated in it. Seems like a good way to violate your ISP's TOS tho. (I'm not an attorney, check your lawyer) |
