FTTH Council

There's like this huge introductory explanation of what the internet consists of and all it talks about is downloading videos... That's not even its most important use. People shop and communicate over the internet. Is that so unimportant? I had always seen the internet as a revolutionary step in distant communications.

Yeah after all, that's what it was created for.

The net is a series of tubes full of gatorbytes,

absolutly neccessary investment for our future

Teleco's need to invest in FTTH like verizon and drop copper already.

And how exactly is the exa flood more of a concern than the much hyped giga flood of 1996? The very same issues where raised, the very same solutions were raised.

In the end, just adding more capacity was cheaper.

Clever and educational. I liked it and it's interesting to learn a little bit about the future of the internet. I guess technology really is taking over.

2) What I think they should do is do what the Japanese telcos did, and open their infrastructure to startup companies, but charge them royalties for the usage. If they stop offering service directly and only through these other companies, we'd see an environment where they can profit from upgrading infrastructure and breaches of net neutrality will most certainly result in a loss of business.

1) I've heard that Japan forced their telecoms to open up their infrastructure to competition, and this led to an increased level of competition, and massive amounts of upgrades. Maybe the US telecoms do need a third revenue streams, but websites are not acceptable as a revenue stream.

Cute, clever, and as "educational" as the Ministry of Love.
