ffs, stop with the crappy analogies.

The internet is like a badly designed commodity network. Built increasingly

Just like the telcos I recall everyone blasting when I was last actually
involved in networks bigger than a university campus.

I think no matter what happens, it's going to be very interesting as Comcast rolls out DOCSIS 3.0 (with speeds around 100-150Mbps possible), Verizon FIOS expands it's offering (currently, you can get 50Mb/s down and 30Mb/sec up), etc. If things are really as fragile as some have been saying, then the bottlenecks will slowly make themselves apparent.
