How Much Does a New Internet Cost?
wschalle writes "Given the recent flurry of articles concerning ISP over subscription, increasing bandwidth needs, and lack of infrastructure spending on the part of cable companies, I'm forced to wonder, what is the solution? How much would a properly upgraded internet backbone cost? How long would it take to make it happen? Will the cable companies step up before Verizon's FiOS becomes the face of broadband in America?"
But hey, stupid "ask slashdot" questions are intended as flamebait and therefore will generate many angry responses. Way to go!
And watch this post quickly become modded -1, Flamebait by the clueless.
I agree
it would cost less then treating aids with all the linux fags out there spreading their faggot disease.
"A new internet"?
I'll set one up for $100, if you like. I'll do a 192.168.1.0/24 network, with a 192.168.2.0/24 network. It'll cost you, of course; after all it is an entire inter-network. And then there's the hardware; you'll need a router between the two, and then the cabling.
Oh sorry, were you just some USAian cheapskate moaning about the cost of broadband access?
It's been overdone, it's true, but it's still worth mentioning; THERE ARE PEOPLE WITHOUT FOOD AND WATER
There's hardly a need to set up a new internet just because you don't like what Verizon charge you for broadband.
Are you aware of the cost of laying intercontinental cables? Oh sorry, you're USAian, I'll have to backtrack... There are continents. America is one of them. The USA is part of that continent. You are part of the USA. The USA is a Country. Most (all?) Continents consist of many Countries. This all fits into a sphere we often call "Earth". We are a species known as Homo Sapiens, who inhabit this planet. Pretty much all of it, as it happens. And we're f*cking it up. Badly.
Yet the biggest thing you can find about the Internet, is that it costs you $2 more per month than you would like.
Actually, that's good for me. Save your "new internet" costs, by simply disconnecting yourself from the existing (so-called) "internet". You'll save a load of money, and the huge intercontinental distance means that I will never need to hear any of your whines again.
It seems that we have a plan; what do you think?

This is a KARMA TROLL. Reply has NOTHING to do with parent post.
You are such a tool trying to reply like that to the FP to get karma. Get a life.
Or yet, lick them. Lick the salt off them 'cause that's the kind of animal that you are. Don't forget, I like to have them licked clean, and then I take a shower because your saliva is so gah-ross!
To the mods who mod me down, don't forget to mod Shieldw0lf down after he has made this confession of karma trolling.
Shield wolf is a complete and total nutcase. A well-known copy-paste troll at that.
I treat slashdot like a PHP message board. Why do we need threading? Its pointless. Just post! The topic is already set.
Fascism is the greatest political ideology ever conceived. Sorry.
Just look at your starting score.
