You forgetting the case where one hosts their own servers in the basement. Assuming that the connection is symmetric and offers static IP (which it does in my case but "only" for 1GBit/s).
Some time ago PC has revolutionized the world by giving access to computer power to general population. This has unleashed a tidal wave of creativity and business.
Giving the ability to host own servers to everyone can open up endless opportunities as well.
I host some of my own servers and benefit from it greatly.
- ericd 5y agoYeah, I think more home connections going symmetric could open up big personal computing applications that haven’t been super practical before, and make a market for easy-to-use personal home servers. Even just personal media streaming while traveling can benefit greatly from upload being boosted past the 10mbit up that’s somewhat common among cable ISPs. Having a symmetric connection also removes one of the mental constraints that we have at the back of our minds. It’s my biggest hope for internet re-decentralization.
