You are absolutely correct, Gary.
The issue of bandwidth demand and provision cannot be separated from pricing
structures. I simply posted the article to note the growing
applications-based
(HD media) needs for greater bandwidth, than most providers presently consider
offering. Opening high-bandwidth networks to competitive services provision,
is part of the solution to reduce pricing to subscribers.
