That is one small example among many that are far beyond this simpleton’s range of vision. I always wanted to think it was simple too. Then I bump into a friend who sits on the BOD of this whole mess and my ears are bleeding within 5 minutes after hearing about all the crap they are dealing with.

I dont get it either…. but there it is…a crazy big political/legal/technical maelstrom with no simple answer. Of course things can and will change over time. None us us know which direction this will all go. But if you are waiting for real change, take your 10 years and triple it.

BTW, last time I checked the cable companies still owned the direct route to the highest bandwith in my house.

PSS-In 1999 I took a non-stop flight from Newark NJ to SD. I sat next to Michael Robertson for about 5 hours at the height of MP3’s existence. I think he had just done Good Morning America or one of those shows.
