[QUOTE="MrPogi, post: 92072, member: 5542"][b]Mobile Video is Breaking the Internet[/b] It's not even "useful" stuff that's the cause of the crunch. Most of it is "fluff": killing time watching streaming video of Jersey Shore on a 4G wireless connection, not exactly the kind of thing that is going to catapult the USA into the lead in technology and productivity. You know, that thing that having internet everywhere is supposed to do. Ironically, the FCC's solution to the problem is to kill the efficient "one to many" model of free broadcast TV, and replace it with the inefficient and expensive (to the consumer) "one to one" model of internet streaming. Service providers and manufacturers need to stop pushing wireless devices as video delivery systems. Spectrum is a finite resource, and all of it can not be dedicated to watching YouTube.[/QUOTE]
