the telcos have found out they have a golden goose and are laying the eggs very slow so they can make all the bucks they can.
Just like the RIAA they are greedy and hold back technology so they can make a buck.
We have technology now that can easily X5 all bandwidth but they hold it back so they can keep the charges high.
Gnutella and P2P will make the RIAA price CDs reasonable and make MP3s at 99 cents (so far)
So what will it take for us to get cheap unlimited bandwidth?
Will we have to provide our own home free for all netowrk via wireless before they wake up?
These big corporations suck, we shouldn't allow them to exist unless it serves the people in general, anything else is banned from "government approval".
We allow corporations to exist through our governments, which is through we the people, so they should serve us or be banned.
