So, as ATHM relieves the bottlneck between user and the ISP (ATHM) through broadband, the congestion on the backbone may become the bottleneck.
That is exactly my point. So how does ATHM thrive if it is no longer a big advantage because the backbone is congested? By avoiding the backbone altogether within the @home domain. I dont know enough about @home's network to know if they already do this, but it seems to me a great competetive advantage for the future when people realize that a fast connection between user and ISP is not enough.
