Title: Get Ready for a Crackdown on Broadband.
Authors: Spring, Tom
Source: PCWorld. May2008, Vol. 26 Issue 5, p16-18. 3p.
Subjects: Broadband communication systems, Internet traffic, User charges, Internet service providers, Bowling, Mitch, Donnelly, Tom, Aaron, Craig
Geographic Terms: United States
Abstract: The article looks at the possibility that Internet service providers (ISPs) will start charging to control Internet traffic. Consumer advocates predict that ISPs will soon charge users who engage in high-bandwidth activities such as movie downloads and video streaming. Craig Aaron, spokesperson for SavetheInternet.com, worries that Internet users may be cut off from using bandwidth-hungry software applications. Bandwidth demands in the U.S. have doubled, according to Tom Donnelly of network management firm Sandvine. Mitch Bowling of Comcast's Internet group, has denied having problem delivering broadband services. INSET: Readers' Rage: Comments on Broadband Crackdown.
