Yes, I do believe the bw will increase, I don't believe the next resource (after IP space and IP routes) for us to run out of is bandwidth. Sure, there's a crunch now, but we'll all just raise our rates and buy bigger pipes.
Bandwidth increases in both within the US and in bandwidth-starved countries, but will the price ratio go down? Currently, the $$$ our ISP pays to get 128 Kbps connectivity is enough to get more than a dozen T1's in the US, and even a T3 perhaps. And people ask here why they can't get unlimited access for $20 monthly. On the other hand, labor costs are cheap --- among the biggest customers for E1 lines to the US are offshore programming houses. So how about a bandwidth for workforce swap? :) -- miguel a.l. paraz <map () iphil net> iphil communications, makati city, tech problems, to <support () iphil net> philippines. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
