The problem is video and voice streaming....THATS whats usin up all the bandwidth...whoevers payin for it!

The silly part is....its not necessary and the internet infrastructure can't handle it.........yet. We have a perfectly good cellular system in place, as well as the normal landline. VOIP is a major mistake. We also have perfectly good staellite and cable television...there is no NEED for YouTube.

No matter how you slice it, we are in a recesssion/depression, and we only have so much bandwidth available.....Various companies are rolling out fiber as fast as they can, until they are finished, using what bandwidth we have now for VOIP and sites like YouTube is just stupid. It took AT&T YEARS to cover the U.S. with copper, fortunately fiber is being done much faster. But until it approcahes the quantity of the copper that already exists we will continue to have bandwidth problems. P2P is not a bandwidth hog like video and voice streaming, not even close. Sure it amy account for a large percentage of internet usage, but one YouTube video uses much more bandwidth than downloaded a program or game via P2P.

I think the problem is that people need to understand that there are different kinds of data. and realize that the two largest bandwidth types of data are video and voice. Its the same as on your personal computer.....numbers then text then programs then voice then video (in order of sheer size). Sure Google uses a ton of bandwidth, but as mentioned, mostly for their search engine. 10,000 Google searches doesnt come close to the amount of bandwidth a streaming video uses

What we need to do, until the infrastructure can handle it is simply not stream video and voice; at least not over the internet. We have noone to blame but ourselves for this. We already HAVE perfectly acceptable means to stream video and voice over OTHER infrastructures. Sure I'd like it to be 20 years from now, but it isn't...its 2008 and in 2008 the internet can't handle video and voice streaming. It WILL be able to.....but until that day comes...trying to force the internet to swallow millions of f*cking useless videos it just silly. While VOIP isn't useless, it still is too large of a bandwidth hog for 2008.

Comment if you wish, but I believe nothing further is to be said on this topic as I have covered eveything. Please do not pick apart my post criticizing statements just becase you don't agree. I can confirm everything here is TRUE.
