'The Internet-resource paradigm can increase the bounds of what is possible (such as higher speeds or larger data sets) for some applications, whereas for others it can lower the cost.'"

    Yes, the exact same article was posted as a /. story here about three weeks ago (under almost the exact same title!) and I could swear it was mentioned in a comment in this story (posted by timothy!), although I can't seem to find that comment right now...
