You guys do understand the concept of finite bandwidth?

With copper and fiber, you can add a new line, change from 100mb to 1gb to 10gb, add new lines, segment off CMTS to add capacity, add more DSLAMs to support more customers.

With wireless, particularly the licensed bands, you can't just use more frequency bandwidth. You have what you paid *a lot* for.

Peer to peer, Netflix and Hulu are the biggest bandwidth users by far. Throw that in with smartphones and Verizon's shiny new tower is out of capacity with probably under 50 customers.

Everyone wants quality of service then complains when something isn't using 100% download speed 100% of the time.

Buy a commercial account and quit complaining. Pay what the ISPs pay for dedicated bandwidth.

This is probably the green light for the next round of controlling the internet. Since the link has typical execu-babble, I doubt anyone knows what's in store.

The deception of Schmidt is unforgivable. He talks about an open "wire line" internet deliberately leaving the impression all is right with the internet world. Excluded from the so-called policy statement is the wireless internet which includes all mobile devices. This is the market Verizon wants to control big time. Comcast can have cable- but Verizon/Google will be stomping all over all present and future wireless internet users (4G, 3G and all future G). Come on Eric. - do you take us all for a bunch of fools?You want to keep the pristine image of Google as defenders of Net Neutrality but you are selling the future internet down the river. Such hypocrisy is unforgivable. Google has raised its true flag and it is the flag of Big Business and Corporate Control. We must all join forces and fight this destruction of internet openness. Down with Google!! We need to promote and support open source search engine development - or any service provider that truly embraces Net Neutrality and does not lie to the public like Eric Schmidt and his Google crowd. I would implore all disappointed Google employees to bail out and start planning for a time when your employment contracts will permit you to create a monster Google competitor. There is a Wiki oriented public prepared to help pay for this freedom. Lets all vow to terminate our GMAIL accounts and stop using Google software of any sort.
