It would be nice if they didn't Data Caps on service, but since we are dealing with massive companies, I just don't see the Data caps going away. Unless they get regulated again to put them in check. Producers will most like have to deal with Comcast Wholesale network services group to negotiate a contract. Something like Nexflix has done to prevent the throttling.
The US data caps FORCED on the consumer by the cable companies will have the users thinking twice. Do I use in the in-house streaming provided by Comcrap that will cost me no data or do I go outside source for content that will burn up my data usage at the end will either get me a much bigger bill or the Cable companies will drop me for high usage.
So I am guess the letters than Comcast is sending out to customers telling them they are being disconnected because they went over the data cap to many times is not Actually Real and is a figment of peoples minds they are holding in there hands, typed out in black and white with the letter head of Comcast on paper..
For some reason when I see this, I keep thinking back to Windows 98 Second Edition or Win98b and how it came out only a year later also following the main Win98.
Most of those gamer magazines have 90% advertising ads in them and takes like 5 minutes to read anything worth while. Most of the time when I pull some of them out of the mail box and start reading/walking back to the house, I am done by the time I hit the door and it's in the the recycling bin.
That would be the 8th layer of the Nine Hells called marketing department. They just love selling useless bullshit to us poor saps.

But in the cold war maybe, if you call that NASA's doing so by launching CIA/NSA spy satellites to help out.

I just want to see some business minded people reply to the OP.
What is the return on the American investment here? What has been done to benefit the American population. All the Trillions of dollars the American tax payer has sent to NASA over the years.
Also for the gamers out here, this is also a horrible idea. Way to much latency to play any online games on this type of network, but for the normal people out their it maybe viable..
I looked at all the footage and he was not cuffed yet, right when they were about the put the cuffs on him, he jerked his arms back and that's when they hit him with tazzer. But yeah one can argue 4 officers were on top of him and did have control, one being a big ass 275 pound+ muscle head.:)
So would this violate/void contracts with current customers, if the customer wanted to push the issue?
They signed the contract based on what they can/do with the phone at the time they signed the contract and now T-mobile is basically taking a eraser to the contract and re-writing the rules. It's not a living contract.
You kidding me, H.R are the biggest idiots they are the same people who are looking for certain "Keywords" on the resume and could not care less about hiring a "good" IT person. H.R. folks are clueless wonders of the world.
Amen to living in the Dirty South Home of the BellShit heads.
I know this is off topic a bit, but I gotta tell everyone about this.
Let me give you the setup of my house before all this started. I am what is called ITP here in Atlanta. That means your inside the perimeter and can basicly toss a rock in any direction to hit a bellshit building. I have 1 line DSL for my personal use and 1 line for business. So I was running two DSL lines to the house.
Now I decided to drop the personal DSL to get Dedicated DSL Line that does not need Dial Tone to run from Covad in my house because they offered a really nice deal, alot cheaper than the BellShits. I was like why the hell not; I know that I am close to not just one but two CO's and can get DSL. So I order the line and covad is sending me updates on the progress and told me the line tested at 10,600 feet. Covad set up a tech to come out to the house to run the lines in the house because Bellshits don't go in the house and what not. So the Covad tech gets there and tests the loop, all of a sudden the line is testing at 22,900 feet. I just start screaming at this point. I'm like how the FUCK did almost 2 miles get added on to this damn Loop? He was baffled and I knew what the hell was going on the Bellshits were playing god damn games.
Well the Covad guy said that I could reorder the line again and see what happens. Well a little light went off and I thought lets just see when I order BellShits DSL on this new line they claimed was 22,900 feet. Sure enough the BellShits said they could have me on DSL on that line in the same damn day and the loop was around 10000 feet!!! I was like really? it's 10k huh on the line you told covad that was 22,900 feet? They didn't answer me. So I called Covad back and called for a setup again, the same thing happend over again! I did this two more times just to see what the Bellshits would do and just like clockwork they magiclly made the distance grow!
So that is cold hard facts, covad has it documented and I do as well. What good will it do? Not a god damn thing because we live in the Dirty South! Hopefully one day some company will have the balls to go WiMax or something in Atlanta and 6+ million people in Atlanta can all at once tell the BellShits where shove it...
I'm confused, is this the same woman that has filed federal criminal charges agaist the RIAA for Computer Fraud & Abuse, Invasion of Privcy and so on? Or was that another case pending?

It is interesting that a good amount of you here think Obamacare and ACA are two different ACTS. They are not folks, they are the same thing.

Wow this is a shocker that a university even did a study like this.
Very interesting article, thank ya.
Can I have some of those tax dollars back please..
Or maybe they can spend that 20 million on the Network Security because it sucks so damn bad..

What I think is funny, and I am sure that someone has said it already.
Verizon and Sprint had a shot at the Iphone first. They were just greedy and wanted more profit from the sales of it. Not really surprising.
So would this violate/void contracts with current customers, if the customer wanted to push the issue?
They signed the contract based on what they can/do with the phone at the time they signed the contract and now T-mobile is basically taking a eraser to the contract and re-writing the rules. It's not a living contract.
Holy Crap, now what am I going to do? Go outside and enjoy the sunshine?

Yeah and also get rid of that ugly hutch. :) That will give you a ton of room. Oh wait then the laptop has nothing to hang off of..
He did a great job on the case, but that poor website is gonna be in a world of hurt in a few hours.
