It's not a perfect solution.
What we'll be looking at next is a device that will allow us to track who
the high users are in real time. Once they've passed a certain point, say
512k non stop for an hour, we'll start to slow them down more and more till
they are a dialup speeds. Then, once they shut things down for a couple of
hours it'll ratchet back up.
The reality of the situation is that there isn't enough capacity out there
for everyone to watch real time broadcast quality tv, download a new movie
twice a night, talk on the phone etc. etc. etc. all at once. We have to
MANAGE what happens and TEACH people to use more efficient technologies.
PPV or broadcasting is a GREAT way to watch video content or listen to the
radio. The internet wasn't designed for this and isn't up to speed for it.
And with such limited spectrum and a HUGE installed base of relatively slow
and inefficient radios out there already, it's an issue. I think that even
the customers would agree that some limitations on service would be MUCH
better than going back to the old dialup days or to DSL/Cable. And those
are the only choices available for a lot of the people we're talking about.
Sooner than later we're gonna see the big boys doing these things too.
Right now things are still growing fast for all of us. And those guys will
do ANYTHING to bring on the customer base. When that growth starts to slow
down though, look out. IF they can rebuild their networks (again) fast
enough to keep up with usage it may be no big deal. My guess is that
they're gonna have to get really aggressive with customer control though.
I give it another 2 to 3 years, then the market will be mostly saturated.
So far things for broadband here are tracking very similarly to dialup as
far as growth goes. But this time there is no better mouse trap on the
horizon. Sure fiber's great, but no one thinks it's good enough to string
it out to everyone in the next few years. 30 years from now? 15 even? Who
knows. But I think the next 5 are looking pretty dang good. Especially
with some of the cool new gear that we can start overlaying with our current
stuff and let people upgrade to.
laters,

P.S. Yeah, I noticed the Commiecast address. deep sigh SOMEBODY get this

To All,
The issue of P2P rears its relatively unattractivehead in my neck of the
woods from time to time. This is one of those times.
- So, what is everyone doing to'counter' the influx of traffic from P2P?
- What are the most effective "P2P countermeasures" that you have
employed, lately?
- For those fo you that respond, I will put it all in a file and make it
available to all, via Scriv.
Heck who should approve the dumpingofthat info onto WISPA - Rick
Harnish -
I'll checkwith him.
