And that's why I suspect that 10Gbps to the home will become a reality
not out of necessity, but out of a race on who can out-market the other.
The problem for us as operators - which is what I was trying to explain
- was that even though the home will likely not saturate that 10Gbps
link, never mind even use 1% of it in any sustained fashion, we shall be
left the burden of proving the "I want to see my 10Gbps that I bought,
or I'm moving to your competitor" case over and over again.
When are we going to stop feeding the monster we've created (or more
accurately, that has been created for us)?
Mark.
