Too much money to be made, too much “dark fiber” and the technology is jumping by leaps and bounds … ain’t gon’a happen. IMHO

I am not worried.....AlGor will invent something else.

Let’s hope a time machine, that turns out to be a toaster.

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE - FROM LACK OF INTERNET ACCESS!

I hope so!

Otherwise I’ll never get finished reading it!

When there's money to be made, many will step up and deliver.

Our grandchildren are going to have holodecks.

Ever since they broke up the phone company and forced AT&T to compete it has consistently been one of the most badly managed companies in America. Why would anyone think they could do anything right now?

Kind of like what I grew up as knowing as Yugoslavia.

Remember Art Bell’s doom and gloom as we headed for the year 2000 and Y2K?

Ranked right up there with Geraldo discovers Al Capone’s Secret Vault.

Heh he....

Fear not, the Internet is here to stay. Profits will out. ;-)

(Brunswick here by the way).

[goldstategop]

That's why I was kidding, tongue in cheek. No one believes the Wired World - any more than the real world - will come to an end in 2010. We did fine before any one ever heard of the Internet. We'll survive if we can no longer access it anymore.

Oh noes! It’s the Millennium Bug all over again!

Doom-filled warnings arrive from AT&T this week. The company says that without substantial investment in network infrastructure, the Internet will essentially run out of bandwidth in just two short years.

2 years ? Oh well, I'm sure I'll be bored with this new fangled internet thing way before then... ;)

[Mariner]

In fact, it will happen if the backbone carriers...and major feeder carriers...are not able to MAKE MONEY off their investment.

Currently, AT&T is obligated to carry multiple gigabits/sec of traffic that neither originates on, or terminates to a node on their network.

AT&T has to give the same priority to some dumb kid that wants to put up a video on his myspace page as a business who is both WILLING AND ABLE to pay a premium price for premium service.

It's some real silly sh*t this so-called "net neutrality".
