    BAC and the financials are not done going down! Look at BAC today and the XLF. Bullish Calls are losing their shirts. Reply

    It is very hard to understand the point the writer is trying to make. So what direction does he assume each stock to take in Thursdays trading... IYR is my main interest as I invest in SRS at 2:1 ratio?

    Please boil it down to your estimate of direction and magnitude for each of these positions for tomorrow's trading.

    Thanks.

    I don't like the cap idea, but I'm all for tiered pricing. I don't game on-line and rarely download anything larger than a PDF. I want a faster and more reliable connection than 56k, but shouldn't have to buy a huge pipe to subsidize all the heavier users.

    And the platform idea is stupid. AOL is dead, Yahoo is dying; platforms are short-lived... And people aren't going to watch movies on their computer, that's why NetFlix spent the money to design a set-top box. Everything is going back to the TV once they get ethernet plugs and hard-drives, which should be very soon.

    TW & MSO in general main problems are that they have very poor upload speeds, no QoS capability and horrible Latency issues. All of which contribute to their problem of delivering real world customer demands for serious Broadband upload speeds.
    Not sure what ComCast will be able to do anything with P2P activity since these functions all require high bandwidth UPLOADs.
    Unless waiting until DOCSIS3.0 is out is an option.
    If they encourage local entities to develop content/apps these same entities would have limited abiity to upload contend to the TW Servers etc.

    I do not want a "platform" from TW. I want one thing: bandwidth. I have several choices for ISP (TW, WOW, Verizon, ATT, and several DSL resellers). I buy based on some combo of fastest and least clogged pipe (er, I mean tubes), fewest rules (I run my own web and email servers in my basement), reliability, and lowest cost. Reply

    I do not love the cable companies but there is a legitimate thought to this. The numbers on internet usage are not even, I am not positive but it is something as lopsided as 10% of users use 90% of the bandwidth.

    So the truth is why should regular internet users subsidize people who watch movies every day on the internet? Granted we are used to this with cable companies, my mom has been paying for ESPN on her basic cable bill for years and never watches it. That is over $3 a month that ESPN charges the cable companies for each subscriber that is shared by all subscribers even though a majority do not use it. Is there a reason my mom should subsidize sports fanatics to the tune of almost $40 a year?

    Why is flat pricing any different than gas subsidies. As long as the 10% of heaviest users are bing subsidized on the net they will not limit their usage. I do not like pricing per gig as that is annoying but why not have a three or four tiered structure with different levels of usage.

    TW is the only high speed ISP where my parents live. TW advertises single service high speed internet for $19.99; but there is no way to actually signup for the service. Calls to the company lead to a run around before they finally admit the price is not for single service; but is for combined service (video, telephony). If ever there was an company/industry that screamed for regulation, this is it. TW and the phone companies cherry pick their customers and are careful to ensure their monopoly status is never challenged. Reply

    I have an idea... let's highly regulate the industry since they won't regulate themselves. Obama will help us. Reply

    Ouch, I used to average 500MB+/day just using 56K dial-up many years ago. I probably average 2 gigs/day now. If one has a virus, a trojan or spyware on their computer, you could possibly be using 100s of gigs/day. Reply

    Very cool thanks. Nice to see some overlap. I currently hold TSCO, CNI, EXP, BRK-B. I am sure in much smaller portions then Gates. Reply
