Dear Mark,


The U.S. would still only match (or come close) to the the Asians and the UK, where our whole Cable Network is ALL digital end-to-end.

Despite some broadband services being available from the last century, and so meaning some switches/modems needing to be upgraded, the physical fibre infrastructure is already their, with docsis 3.0 being tested to give as a standard (i.e. available everywhere) service of 50mb.

That's without the really leading-edge developments.

Our TV is also able to be virtually infinite, with peering arrangements and network-pvr/vod, cable can overcome much of the limitations of legacy broadband.



Yours kindly,

Hi,

There are and will continue to be other solutions, because youtube is the warehouse not the boutique, and will never care about specific users or their needs, just the mass, lowest-common denominator.

For example, www.SUMO.TV that operate with a different model to youtube and has local operations from Brazil, israel, India to China.

However, sometimes, companies/people just don�t want to fight on.

Yours kindly,
