Interesting article on the BBC today

Sign of the times  - Should there be a multi-speed internet?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7116929.stm

As broadband speeds get faster and the appetite for video services grows apace, bandwidth becomes an ever more precious commodity.

Thanks for that - another interesting read.

hmmmmmm - @ this bit though which could spark off some ermm  heated discussions in certain places.

It would be nice if the IETF could make changes to the TCP protocols to make unattended peer-to-peer type applications behave more "fairly."

..... and if you cant make applications bahave more fairly ...... buy one of those ella-you-know-whats, turn the red torrent knob right down and you have the same effect (less a couple of hunderd thousand pounds).

please !

Hehe @ Red "Torrent" Knob.

I'm tempted to do a Photoshop but I haven't got time

I heard that.

But as I feel we are fighting a losing battle because all they have to do is change their T&Cs and I don't see what we can really achieve, so mumms the word from me on this subject (being as it is the season of good-will etc ) 

[mr_chris]

Stayed up FAR too late last night / this morning doing this, but I got into it, I haven't used Photoshop properly for ages and I learned loads!!

Hehe

*edit* - thought I'd "brand" the pic in case it ends up anywhere
