More Bandwidth May 29, 2007

Business Week has posted an article about the possibility of more bandwidth for home use. In the 12 years or so of connecting to the Internet, my home bandwidth has increased dramatically. Recently, for the last two or three years, it hasn’t changed at all. Time for an upgrade? Possibly. Subscribing to TV shows, having 3 or 4 computers online, listening to streaming radio, and it all adds up. What would you do with more bandwidth? The article answers that question in part, however part of the answer can only be understood once the bandwidth is available. The other question that didn’t get asked is who will pay for the upgraded infrastructure? Is this a Net Neutrality issue? Are we all going to pay for something whether we want it or not? Also, in an even more connected world, what are we doing to prepare our children?

I would just like to get dsl. I am still using a telephone line. My internet carrier keeps offering a great deal but it is not in my area.
I am so behind in technology.
