The UBB Deception

Quick summery if you can?t get the video to work
Data is not a manufactured product unlike every thing else you get on a pay per use basis. It is not a consumable product; data is nothing more then the series of electrical singles travelling through a bunch of wires over short and long distances. People who want more are paying for more already, because corporate providers charge on the speed. the more speed the costumers demand the more equipment they need to parches to meet that demand because of this speed based billing method the faster your connection and the more you use it the cheaper it gets all the way down to a fraction of a penny per gigabyte. A 160GB solid state drive (SSD) costs approximately $300 or about $1.88 per GB. Next day shipping in Canada for this SSD is around $10. Let?s say 24 hours in transit. That works out to a little over 15mbp at $1.94 per GB total. This means it is now cheaper in Canada to put there downloads on an expensive SSDs and ship them across the country and then throw them out instead of paying the $2 per GB there ISPs want to charge them when they go over the arbitrary bandwidth caps.
The companies say they don?t have enough network capacity to support there internet services because of 'bandwidth hogs' / 'Heavy users' but if a small number of consumers can gobble all there available network capacity doesn?t that mean there was never enough network capacity for every one and they say this while they upgrade there network capacity for other services such as IPTV.
UBB is a reaction to the fact the companies are losing money because allot of people are reducing or dropping there existing services and are getting all there media through the internet form independent providers,they don?t like this.
It?s the same old same old they want you to pay more for less we get shafted and they profit form it.
