I am perfectly aware that NTL have yet failed to make a penny in profit. My post was in response to pems line
"You cannot expect something to stay at the same price forever."
I was pointing out that MY expectations in digital arenas, is the revesre of this statement (if the statement means 'you cant expect the price of anything to not go up forever')
I expect to get more GB of storage from a HD bought this year, than one bought last year at the same price.
I expect to get more MHz of processing power for a CPU bought this year, than one bought last year at the same price.
I expect to get more MB's of memory for a memory chip bought this year than one bought last year at the same price.
I expect to get more resolution and inches of screen space for a monitor bought this year than one bought last year at the same price.
I expect to get more resolution and pages per minute from a printer bought this year than one bought last year
I expect to get more resolution and storage from a digital camera bought this year than one bought last year at the same price.
I expect to get more fps from a graphics card bought this year than one bought lats year at the same price. etc etc etc
Yet according to pem I should not expect this with regard to my BB service. Well sorry to disapoint you but I do expect to get more, year on year from my BB service at the same price.
If BB was mined from the ground as BB ore and then processed into BB in a refinary then perhaps I would not expect to get more each year for the same price. BB / bandwidth is a 'digital' resource not a physical one. EVERY other digital resource is falling year on year. Thus my expectation for BB is the same.
