<<Consider, users are currently up tight about "only" being allowed 128k in the upstream direction, the direction that merely warrants a few k under normal surfing conditions. Yet, 128 was deemed an out-of-reach goal for the "downstream," never mind the upstream, just a few months before.>>
Frank-I am uptight about it. I have TCI@home and I want it for bursty access both ways to the network. I do not have a problem with the stated fair use policy and I do not run a server. I probably use the service on the average once or twice a day. So my average bandwidth use is very low. If an active control is needed to limit use of a shared bandwidth facility, then some measure of total data transferred over a specific time frame (say a month) can be used to shut down abusers. Also, the fact that TCI was really not upfront about what it is reported to be doing and what it is apparently doing is not consistent with their stated public position. It's a great service, I am sure they will do their best to destroy it.
