Re: Good said by mmay149q:Sure today most people may not use 200GB, but what about 10 years from now when every smartphone has a cloud service for backup purposes plan you can purchase (My Samsung Galaxy SIII is offered up to 120GB's for $9.99 a month) and it has over 100GB of space with half of it used? And what happens when the carriers offer "no counting against caps" for these services where other providers of this type of service may not be chosen due to the count against caps.
What happens when people start using more and more services, and then hacking their neighbors WiFi network because they are running low on their monthly cap (you can find videos on YouTube on how to do this with certain versions of Linux)
What happens when more people start innovating and offering HD video streaming services that stream more than 6Mbps per HD stream? Or when multiple people in 1 house stream more than 1 HD stream at a time?
What happens to the starving YouTube artist/producers/etc that upload huge video files multiple times a week? Or musical artists in general that upload their content to places like reverbnation.com to show to their fans, but yet hardly make any cash off this?
See that's the problem with caps, they can't answer the questions or possibilities of tomorrow, they can only answer what's happening today.

Well TODAY the vast majority are unaffected by these caps. In 10 years you would hope that Comcast and other ISPs up their caps within that time. Will they? Who knows, but the time to worry about that is in 10 years.
As far as the starving artists. well that's why they are starving always has been that way. They'll just need to get an uncapped business account. By the way Youtube DOES pay people that upload videos. |

kudos:48 | That's the problem, looking at today instead of tomorrow, if we are preparing for today instead of preparing for tomorrow, then tomorrow when it's needed we'll be screwed...

P.S. You're telling people that pay $50 a month for the same speed as the $300 a month business account that they need to pay $300 a month when their "music career" may only bring them $600 a month... That's like Mercedes selling you the top of the line new 2013 model, and then saying if you want all the luxury features to work you have to pay $10,000 more than what the car is worth.....

Comcast uncapped business accounts don't cost $300/month. You might want to check your hyperbole before posting. |
