And before anyone accuses me of sounding overly critical towards the AU ISP's, let me point out that we've dropped the ball in a major way here in the United States, as well.We've dropped the ball in any place where the broadband architecture is to backhaul IP packets from the site where DSL or cable lines are concentrated, into an ISP's PoP. This means that P2P packets between users at the same concentration site, are forced to trombone back and forth over the same congested circuits. And P2P is the main way to reduce the overall load that video places on the Internet.
We could have used IP Multicast, but nobody on the consumer side wanted to carry state instead of packets.
