1 edit | Definitely interesting...
quote:
As we've stated repeatedly, this particular launch will be interesting because you've got a satellite provider suddenly using a competitor's bandwidth to deliver high-definition content -- something that speaks strongly to the debate over a neutral 'Net.
It will defnitely be interesting to see how the broadband industry responds. It's a double-edged sword. It definitely could tax their resources quite a bit, at the worst times. On the other hand, it could give some less technical "joe sixpacks" a real reason to step up to faster, more expensive broadband tiers.

Valencia, CA | Especially if its HD. Standard def wouldn't be an issue for many users - HD = high bandwidth

Loveland, CO | All true, but I take exception to the article calling it "competitor's bandwidth". It's MY bandwidth! I'll do what I want with it. I don't buy a Chevy, and then let Chevy tell me I can't drive to a Ford dealer.
Should be fun to watch. |

| I agree... this will be interesting, and as long as these ISP's don't become AOL all over again, they should not care what I use the bandwidth for, even if its competition. Its like me using dry loop DSL to run Vonage so that I don't have to pay BS fees to the Telco.
