Band width is is question.

Ok so the .Net guys are succeeding in degrading the real value of the internet. Lets see Xbox, Music files, Movies. The price of band width is bound to go up, not down. The economics just are not there sorry.

Local ISPs, Universities, and .orgs will not be able to afford to buy a big enough pipe WIFI or not. The bandwidth cost of so called entertainment for the masses will put an end to the good part of the net. Band width for OSS and things like Univerity knowledge data bases will become too expensive. Many sunsites are already putting in band width limiters, I have noticed a considerable drop in speed, already. Microsoft has it right with bread and circus software, the trouble is the bread part is a hoax, and all pipes will send cash to Redmond.
