Technology Liberation Front: If a Trend Can’t Continue, It Won’t Continue

    I don't feel that there really is a so-called "bandwidth crisis" as the ISPs keep on decrying. I think this is about control of the content.

    The ISPs stand at a crossroads today (especially teleco's). They can choose to do what they fear the most and become a "dumb pipe" or they can try their best to muscle their way into the content providing business. I think that they have made their choice - and it's not being a "dumb pipe".

    The bottom line is that the more control you have the more profit you stand to make.
