I can't help but observe that that AT&T (and Comcast, Time Warner, etc.) are getting precisely "what they wished for". The internet providers and mobile phone companies have and continue to endlessly hype the speed and capacity of their service and the great things you can do with it. like listen to internet radio, watch movies. check the web, etc. Now that people are doing those things, they are complaining it hurts network performance. Really? Who da thunk it? It was all too predictable.
I pay for "unlimited service". If I stop getting that, I may stop paying for it and seek a better deal elsewhere. -- -Rob de Santos From: Richard Cuff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2009 9:34 AM To: Internet radio discussion Subject: [Internetradio] AT&T considers incentives to curb heavy data usage | Signal Strength - CNET News Some consider that an iPhone is a universal personal appliance -- a UPA (how's that for my own 3-letter acronym?). The fact that AT&T is considering incentives for those who consume lower bandwidth is interesting...particularly because streaming audio & video is pegged as one of the culprits of high bandwidth consumption.
