I attribute this to lack of agoric load levelling, and prestige accounting. Legal harassment is becoming more difficult if the content is encrypted, ephemeral/has adaptive amplification, and there is swarm delivery. > I suspect it is mostly that broadband isn't too common yet. Swarm delivery is very possible with 56k modems.
