    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.     Reply

    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.     Reply

    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

    "Karen Finerman says there is enough money to diversify into alternative energy, and Najarian agrees". Two communist, they are traders to this country, and are undermining this country as our enemies do. All the GREEN MEANIES should crawl in a hole some where, and let this country, and its FREE market operate unhindered. Reply

    Thanks for the article. You might want to change "complimentary&qu... meaning "free", to "complementary&qu... meaning "adding to something already existing".

    Yeah, Jeff Immelt doesn't want to tip his hand concerning NBCU, since that might damage his bargaining power, but he's got to be thinking about getting rid of a business that is not performing at a double digit rate and is really unrelated to the core GE business.

    Do you have any idea what NBCU is worth?     Reply

    "Take that, Google. A Yahoo-less Microsoft (MSFT) has a new search-ad trick up its sleeve: cash rebates for products found through Microsoft's live.com. "Live Search cashback" will get you percentage-based rebates deposited directly to your bank account, PayPal (EBAY) account, or by check. Participating vendors include Canon (CAJ), Barnes & Noble (BKS), Circuit City (CC) and Home Depot (HD)."

    Promoting an inferior product with cash rebates never works.     Reply

    Nationwide WiMAX: Who Benefits? [view article]
    What the world nees is ONE, STANDARD wireless broadband solution, and WiMAX is the best bet.
    The future will be wireless (except for the bunggy jump) and WiMAX (or whatever name it takes) will be there.
    We can discuss if the technology works or not, but at the end it is nothing more than microwaves and as the technology matures it will get only better and better.     Reply
