There will be decent internet service. Anybody whose business model depends on internet access sucking forever needs to find a new source of income, fast.
- netcan 18y agoWhenever this comes up on HN, my response is that just because it is hopeless having a business model that depends on copyright (crappy internet), doesn't mean they don't benefit from prolonging the process. The days of mature consumer technologies depending on Broadband speeds you get in S. Korea are a ways away. How many people are still not connected to the internet at all? How many people have no broadband at all? If they can add 1 or 2 or 5 or 10 years to the point where youtube is what people connect to their big TV, they make a lot of money. It's sort of like saying a business model that requires U2 to stay popular is not sustainable. Of course not. But it doesn't mean you should give up.
