Yep -- it goes to thinking with a business model again. Cell phones are
getting dangerously close to having major problems because of custoemr
churn and high customer acquisition fees. I suspect something similar is
happening with broadband providers. You and I know that we won't try to
bring the network to it's knees . . but just picture even 5 people in a
neighborhood on a cable modem connection hosting some sites that would make
the RIAA people cringe.
Why not just have a site hosted elsewhere? I have dedicated servers that
are only $300/month from my provider. That leaves my DSL line open for
what it needs to be doing. I was just reading the other day on pricing and
other info and as we can see . . . the free ride might be over for
$$cheap$$ high-speed bandwidth.
