640K of RAM…
- jackhack 9y agoCorrect. We (users) don't need that bandwidth. Advertisers and social media companies who consume us and market us as a product to be sold needs that bandwidth.
- newscracker 9y agoThey'll be marketing all this "useless" bandwidth to consumers too, in the first place.
- Spivak 9y agoDon't be such a cynic. If you think the differentiator between 1G broadband and a 56k dial-up is ad bloat you're crazy. Significant bandwidth increases enable applications that weren't possible before. I want that bandwidth to do cool things. And there's nothing stopping you from doing cool things with it either.
