I do use email, yes. Amongst other things
Your point about the 10mb is a good one. Things change and can change quickly and this is what I'm trying to say on the traffic shaping thread. I think you'll still get your DVDs/CDs from stores for a while longer. But at some point, music companies and film studios are going to say "why have all the cost of getting things onto shelves when we can just have them on a server for customers to download." Will your kids prefer a walkman or an ipod?? I'd hedge my bets on which one they'd choose.
All content has converged into one format its called digital. 15 years ago music tapes, video tapes, film cameras were the norm and all in diffrent formats...Now look, its pretty much all digital all in the same format. I couldn't imagine watching tv, film, listening to music, home camcorder films, photos all on the same device even 7 years ago. Now its the norm.
Most of the traffic now on the internet is the illegal downloading of films/tv. And what I'm saying on the traffic shaping thread is that ntl/bt etc are going to get their slice of the cake and make it legit. IPTV and other systems will deliver that content to customers, for us to do whatever the hell we like with it.
Ntl aren't going to make their money from phone calls to Granny, or from millions of tv channels showing old BBC shows. They'll make their money supplying us with new HDTV film and tv. There, got the thread back on to HDTV
