Re: symmetric vs. asymmetric [was: Verizon Policy Statement on Net Neutrality]

Mike, I call bullshit here.

The sales of Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon’s streaming stick, TiVO Stream, and other set-top boxes that stream 
room to room are just too high to believe that people are not using these devices to move A/V information within the 
home. Add to that the number of people who use tablet/cellular capabilities like AirPlay to stream content from their 
phone/tablet to their A/V systems and I think you’re well beyond 5% of the market and growing.
