re: Average US household will need 50 Mbps bandwidth within three years. "’When you start adding up how much bandwidth that the average home with a couple of teenagers might consume between 6 and 9 at night -- two or three people watching HDTV shows, playing music from the Internet, playing online games -- the bandwidth demands are going to be gigantic,’ says Mark Weg- leitner, Verizon's chief technology officer.” Don't ya love the way they conflate (walled garden) TV with Internet to get their bandwidth numbers (and this comes from the CTO). The average household will have 2-3 HDTV sets in 3 years??? Maybe in the CTO's neighborhood that will be "average." ;o) US HDTV households (i.e. homes subscribing to a HDTV service) were only at 8.5% end of last year if I recall (and that includes many households with just a single HDTV set. Households with 2-3 is probably only a couple percent). It amazes me when lofty-titled execs make such silly statements. They should reserve that for the director of marketing/spin.
