You Already Have the Bandwidth…
Tom Evslin points out that the bandwidth crunch isn’t necessarily in the last-mile to our houses:
But wait, you say, my Internet connection already comes into my house on my cable. And so do all 200 channels. So I’ve already got enough bandwidth. You’re right; you do. It just has to be rearranged a little. And remember, you’re not even gonna need to bring in 200 channels at once, just the ones you’re actually watching. Maybe you should get a rebate.
His argument is that the real network crunch is further up the chain, back at the telecom end.
