I,Cringely Has a (typically) insightful piece into the history of the US TELCO's attempts to increase bandwidth availability to consumers.
It's interesting that he phrases it as a net loss. I wonder if he's looking at Cable as well? or is his contention that we've lost 45 M bps bi-di forever. (Not that I think cable can get us there (ever)) but I'm not convinced that upstream bandwidth EVER needs to equal downstream (to the home).
to look for comparison: Fios and Cable Bandwidth.
