Broadband Catching On?
from the not-so-bad dept
It's been a pretty standard refrain that broadband adoption has been disapointing. However, a number of analysts are pointing out that it's actually been adopted much faster than many other new technologies. There are some disagreements, though, about what's holding back further adoption. In general, most analysts seem to think that broadband adoption is coming, it's just a little slower than some of the more optimistic people predicted. They point out that one of the biggest hurdles at this point is still the lack of compelling content online that requires broadband.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Actually, I'm quite happy with ISDN - for day to day work its great. Very stable. Its not great if you want to download gigabytes of MP3's though. A 128 MB connection gets you about 1 MB per minute.
