Let's see what our boy Steve "internet guru" Harmon has to say about congestion on the internet:
"...the quality of web calls may match dedicated phone calls soon, especially in high-speed environments where packets travel faster."
er,uh, he MEANT to bring up the congestion issue, it just wasn't in the press release he read to "come up with" this opinion of internet telephony.
See what you did, chirodoc. Now I'm on a mission!!!
All: you really should go check out this joker's thread. If you can get around the "I'm Steve Harmon, internet guru, and yes, I love myself," you'll really learn a lot :o). You'll learn that "the guru" is predicting things that were known here on Last Mile over a year ago...you'll learn why you should forget you ever heard his name, and most importantly, you'll learn why you like THIS THREAD...one word...SUBSTANCE.
Thanks to all here who've provided independent, first-hand knowledge of your respective fields (and without being paid!), and thanks to those with thought-provoking questions who've chosen this forum, rather than listening to garbage like 'the guru' spews.
Sometimes you have to shop the field to see how good you've got it where you're already at. This thread is a diamond; 'the guru's' is cubic zirconia (if you don't know what you're looking for you can easily be fooled by the appearance)...naw, scratch that, it's a lump of $#!+ (note the carefully chosen characters. hint: it's not 'coal').
