The Ongoing Bit Drought

By Nick Hodge | September 1, 2007

Will Hughes has an excellent perspective. Especially on the Tiering, and impact on cross-ISP charging.

Found Simon Hackett's framework for discussion: FTTN and other topics (linked from Whirlpool)

We are still in a drought here. A drought that is going to have a dramatic effect on our kids, and Australia's future economy.

Prayer will not magically make the heavens rain down with more bits. We need a firm yet benevolent hand of our elected members to let free market competition happen.
