- kenjackson 16y agoWell what I suspect will happen is that the Comcast pipe will become less important. LTE bandwidth is pretty incredible (at least with little congestion). The Verizon pipe becomes a lot more important. Comcast and Verizon join forces and stifle net neutrality to keep any such revolution from happening. :-)

Big oil has largely single handedly stopped a revolution over the past 30 years and I see no signs of change. Never underestimate the power of money in stopping revolutions -- especially when it comes to leisure activity.
