Why BT (and Digital Britain) is a ball of fail
2 mbits per second service would be good enough for the vast majority of current internet use.
Err, that’s great.
No, really, it is. I’m glad that BT is aiming so high as to accommodate the majority of current Internet use.
Cluebat: low-latency high-bandwidth access is a means, not an end; it opens up doors to new opportunities, markets and business models. There are plenty of things you simply can’t do right now because you can’t get the content down the pipe quickly enough.
So, yes, 2 megabits per second is absolutely grand… if you don’t want to innovate much further. Doesn’t that rather miss the basic premise of all of this Digital Britain stuff?
