Wish I'd Written That
Over on the GigaOm blog today is a teriific piece by Martin Geddes, chief analyst at STL Partners, which is responsible for the Telco 2.0 Initiative. In it he lays out some basics of the future of broadband.
He touches on the problems of network management, and how a minority of users can utilize a disproportionate amount of bandwidth. He notes how demand is shifting with the requirements of today's more-connected consumer -- the shift to services in which issues such as copyright become moot because the cost of online services and applications is all-inclusive. And he spends a fair amount of ink talking about the changing business model for Internet Service Providers as they evolve to meet consumer requirements.
It is, all in all, one of the more thoughtful posts on the future of broadband I have seen in a long time, and one that today's generation of ISPs should be paying close attention to.
Heck, it's so well done I wish I had written it.
