This is the only point I was going to make. You're all doing a fine
job of debating the other politics. But make no mistake: your videos
are melting the ice caps. A McKinsey study this year estimated that
data centers will be bigger polluters than airlines by 2020.

sorry, this is how most of the rest of the world has been operating
from the beginning. some of the suggested rates and penalties are
crazy, but I would suspect (given the United State's faith in the free
market) that it will

I don't understand why there is an attitude where bandwidth is treated
as infinite and not a finite resource. It is a finite resource. Data

Think of this.
Comcast is an internet provider AND a cable TV provider.
Timewarner is all of these AND a content creator (HBO, CNN).
They are worried that more and more of us are canceling our cable TV
because we can watch TV (and other better stuff) on the web with our
unlimited data

Ron, have you seen the internet flick Zeitgeist? You would thoroughly enjoy it.

I have seen Zeitgeist. I did enjoy it.
I liked the myth stuff more than the current events, but I liked it
nonetheless.
I tend to over use the triple period thing... what is that called

I've noticed it cropping up more and
Not sure I have tthis right but if it is a monthly cap then this is
the norm here in Australia and always has been. Has been one of the
reasons why I argue very strongly for proper compression and also

I'd totally agree with you adrian, IF, and that's a serious if, the
same multimedia companies (lets not kind ourselves that they are
simply bandwidth providers) were not ramping up their own multimedia
streams that make ours look silly.
I've no doubt that the bandwidth constraints will have

bandwidth they need? cheaper than our retail rates, but companies
don't pay $n a month for all the bandwidth they want? (Not disagreeing
but not sure how a company that pays for all their bandwidth is
comparable?)

Yeah...the idea that there is competition at all in broadband is kinda
silly. The barriers to entry are high and the market is best modeled as
an oligopoly. Don't expect meaningful competitive levers. Expect cartel
behavior.
