Internet Speed has to increase with a factor of 1000 the next fitheen years ! ;)

Must be Al Gore.....:-). There isn't, and never has been what you call 'THE'
internet and no 'one' person helped invent it. There were thousands of
people involved from the US and Europe who managed to loosely put together
several old networks including AARPA and write HTTP so they could address
each other and we have a very loose network that is actually pretty much the
same today that you call the internet. The good thing about it is that there
is a TON of room to improve speed and bandwidth that has not even been
implemented yet. The first network I had in my home was a 60 baud system
that used a model 32 Teletype as a terminal. About 60WPM was about all that
old thing would do and it was pretty much state of the art at that time. If
you consider where we are now, that is a huge improvement.

I'm talking about someone who helped create ARPNET. And there was no
HTTP back then so STFU trying to make out you are some big shot know-it-all.

Well, whatever you ****s might think about me matters not because you
are still out to lunch if you think we are going to give up our cable
and satellite TV connections in exchange for HDTV over the internet. Get
a grip on reality.

Is there ANY newsgroup you get along in? It seems that at the least
disagreements with your pronouncements send you into an acting out frenzy.
Across a range of newsgroups. Personal attacks, chauvinism, and constantly
shifting terms of discuss seem to be a constant in your Usenet behavior.

Wow, if Phil Weldon is calling you out, you're history. He's taken his
lumps and is still with us, bye bye John Adams.

Read it back and learn some modesty.

How things are in Den Nederlands is irrelevant to most people.

What a pathetic way to dodge out of this.

servers about 10 years ago. Problem is you'll sure hit
a bottleneck somewhere .. like 10 megabyte switches.
Still, no way can we "serve" an app to 20 or more users
even at 6 gigabytes. I do network installs, and 4 pcs
will grab 80% of the bandwidth at 1 gigabyte.

Chortle, chortle, chortle.

You get what you pay for, and know how to configure properly.
Networks do exist that work quite nicely with hundreds
and thousands of pcs pulling apps from a small number of
applicatons servers.

Yes, there will be a bottleneck somewhere, at some level.
A machine that has only 10-100 Mb/s ethernet is not going
to communicate at gigabit speeds, but so what? If it is
needed, faster (and more expensive) equipment is available.

Will everything be available to everyone at today's cost
for current levels of service? That may take a while,
and the price may go up a bit, but somehow the market
will sort out what people are really interested in
(enough to pay for!) and the problem will reduce to
managable levels.

How am I dodging anything? When you come up with a plausible reason why
you think things like HDTV over an internet connection are viable and
better than my current cable connection then post your reasons.
