Don't listen to what they say; look at what they do. What is happening today was carefully planned and orchestrated in the shadows of power.

The artificially induced shortages will be planned very carefully and the ensuing panic will not be wasted. More controls and restraints will be forced upon the populace. Expect this to happen very soon. tragically, the next scarcity crisis will be – food – and it will be the doing of the “Democrats”.

"cable companies", should they survive, will need to change their modus operandi, in that pushing all the channels down whatever pipe 100% of the time (well, their uptime isn't That great), need to go to on-demand. Imagine how much bandwidth to premises can be lessened across existing copper/fiber if on-demand-only, or ala carte to a lesser, but quite significant degree, would be enabled? Actually, I use the Web much more than Comcast to watch what I want, and read the real news, the better commentary. Like this site, although meeting that Guru guy might prove testy-or interesting.

Methinks that the Greater Depression will take care of bandwidth issues, as if there really are any, for many years to come, and, if "we" come out of it with more sense than going in, the citizen consumer will make these companies not only pay a truly fair share for the rights to use the spectrums (and other sundry elements), from which they reap mightily, but, also, the costs to the citizen consumer for usage will be reflective of fairness and the muscles of the owners of the "airwaves/spectrums". Actually, me also thinks that small, perhaps regional ISP's will serve the public, e.g., citizen-consumers, in the form of individuals and businesses. Then again, what the hell am I thinking, unless we have an Intelligent Revolution in this country, and don't go to war in a few years (and on and on...), and rescind many laws...-well, you get my drift. Thank you, thank you very much. AT&T wants YOU to pay for the install.
