Except that's not what's happening. Instead of competing, everyone's saying "we'll charge the same rate per message" while that same rate is still insanely high.
Try mininova. The top section on their front page is stuff like you're talking about. Small indie band wants to get their album heard by a bunch of people? Contact mininova and get listed there.
It costs nothing and gets your sound out there. You can also do it for pretty much anything you can digitally distribute.
Can you cite some benchmarks that prove your little crazy bit about the DRM-crap slowdown is real?
I see people spouting that kind of thing off all the time, but I never see any kind of information to back it up.
Plus, it hasn't just been Microsoft saying 7 is faster. A lot of the independent benchmarks coming out have 7 as faster than Vista and XP in just about everything.
I like to get the latest "open source" movies, tv shows, and games, too.
On a regular basis I probably hit 750 gigs/mo. After an external crashed and I lost all my MST3k episodes (and a lot of other TV shows) I maxed my connection for almost a month straight. When I was using a bandwidth monitor before that, I managed to download just over 1 TB in 30 days.
And those high volume users tend to be the type of people that the low volume users go to for tech advice.
I'm on TW out of the Albany area, and in a busy month I can download 1TB of linux isos. And if TW rolled that crap out here, I'd switch and so would everyone in my extended family who only got TW because I recommended it in the first place.

So, what IS the point?
Find a building without A/C and get back to us.

You're assuming that exploiting natural resources and fighting with each other is only a human issue.
Just find a kid named Ender.
I'd invest in bicycle locks.
Neptune was the "home" version of 2k. It had its plug pulled so the developers could go work on what was to become XP.
They banned red blood in video games and throw people in prison for saying the holocaust didn't happen.
You expect something rational to happen there?
And don't forget to reverse the polarity of something.
They do. Perhaps you can improve on that suggestion with some further content.
Problem is that a lot of countries DON'T care about these kinds of crimes. Laws tend to have a hard time keeping up with technology.
In your world 1 year is ten years long?
Hosts file.
USPS moves more individual items in a day than UPS and FedEx move in a year.
FedEx and UPS would have to spend a LOT of money changing their systems to be able to handle the volume that USPS does.
99.9% of WoW's players never enter an end-game dungeon. Never do a single heroic.
That is casual.
I had like 14 seizures from that second link, bro.
Gotta throw a warning up next time.

Yeah, but nobody sucks dick for Jolt Cola.

I've got a gallon pur water filter at my home desk that I go through at least once a day.
I used to spend over $50/week on soda, but since I got this thing I've spent less than $50 in 6 months.
In two weeks I destroyed 3 cases of Jolt, 2 cases of Bawls cans and one case of Bawls bottles (their root beer flavor).
The funny thing is that it didn't even help me stay awake. Brawndo, on the other hand, is delicious AND gave me energy.

Who's predicting when the Vulcans will show up?

The only thing they banded together and do was to make someone fear for their safety. I can't figure out why the driver didn't call the police.
