On a different tact, where I -THINK- the market will eventually end up is w/ different classes of BroadBand service, whereby QOS and priority will be given to those that wish to pay for it. The $14.95 services will be a best-effort, and the $59.95 services will have priority.
We've there already. When I had my home-office DSL package from XO it was much more expensive than consumer DSL from pacbell, for example, but gave me the ability to run local servers, non-blocking network ranges, etc. Meanwhille, cable contracts are pretty much written such that the service is only supposed to be used for ~web browsing and other basic tasks, and if you want reliability or better bandwidth then call the business service number. I don't see this much in the local provider market though. -- Eric A. Hall http://www.ehsco.com/ Internet Core Protocols http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/coreprot/
