By the way, the 40 mbps multiple streams doesn't just come from home users watching things for pleasure. Doctors would benefit immensely if they could get streaming video from a patient, what if there are a collection of doctors all trying to get data? That is just one example, both the economy and quality of life for people would greatly improve if we had greater capacity and we are always attempting to max it out.
True, but I find what you say ill directed.
We already know better ways to connect computers to the internet but they are just not in heavy use (IE Fiber to everyone's house.) I feel that forcing a focus on infrastructure and away from server/client side solutions in the end will be wasteful and also move us towards "The Cloud"
I couldn't care less about the business sector's internet (including dotors) as generally it's upkeep is left to 90% managers who don't know what they are doing or don't care and 10% people who could probably improve it and aren't allowed.
