Re: Monday, December 5, 2005
Asymmetry doesn't just hurt broadband customers, either. It hurts carriers. How many services could carriers provide if they made bandwidth symmetrical for everybody? How many more things could they charge for? How much QA and backup and offsite storage and hosting and brokering and naming and who knows how many other services could they provide? Doc, I think the carriers would just screw up those services and people would end up buying them from "pure-play" providers instead. For example, you mentioned Flickr. If your ISP provided photo hosting, would you use it? You'd probably still use Flickr, because it's better, because it has to be better since photo hosting is all they do. BTW, I see you've got some nice "single digit growth" going on in that photo there. There are responses to this message:
