Well stated, ftth. The reality is actuality quite paradoxical in many ways. One would think that a benchmark could be gleaned by examining the actual throughput rates required to make the ILECs' own services function properly and then demand comparable treatment for users who elect to use their own applications. For example, Verizon's VoIP voice services require x amount of bandwidth to operate properly, so that is how much bandwidth should be afforded for a user who uses Vonage, say. But even here the ILEC could always state that they are providing QoS for their own vertical services, thus bolstering their demand for a two-tier bandwidth structure for bandwidth that users would have to abide by if they wanted comparable throughputs as those enjoyed by the ILECs vertical services. Perhaps one way to establish a norm could be to have an independent service provider of significant size and reach pave the way, e.g., UTOPIA, the municipally-backed multi-city, all-fiber network in Utah. Hmm.. I think I'd have to give this one more thought, since there are more dependencies and criteria than merely establishing what the sustained throughput rate on the last mile wire would have to be.
