It’s the Bandwidth, Stupid
by Andrew McCaskey
It should come as no surprise – taking a survey among technically aware consumers – that HDTV was way down on the list in comparison with good connectivity and dependable high speed internet access.
I’m still amazed at the attempts by some vendors like DirecTv trying to bundle a triple play by aligning with a local telco for DSL “high speed” service. I can afford this attitude only because I’m in a Comcast High Speed area, as much as 9 Mb/second down and 1.7Mb up. Backup and mobile access is a EVDO card- not the speed but hopefully backup only.
If Verizon ever gets here with the FiOS service – whatever the price- I’m ready to write the check.
Actually, by the time you figure the other connectivity checks that I write, Verizon FiOS is going to be a bargain.
And when the Wimax overlay gets here, I’ll grab that one as well.
The vendors are selling the wrong Triple Play.
Triple play is insuring that you have three ways to connect to the internet.
