Comcast has a plan to turn your home into a hotspot. It is believed that this will be an “opt in/opt out” program.
Now… remember when Comcast was the first company to put a monthly limit on our internet downloads? and now all of the cell phone carriers have them. I guess that now the trick is to opt in, turn off your modem, connect to neighbor’s…. download entire internet.
see, now you can get around the issue of cloud computing. What is this issue? well it’s where you pay an internet provider to take you to places on the internet. One of the places on the internet, is the place where all of your files are stored. but wait. They aren’t there for free. I mean why would someone convince your to store the crap that you already have stored on a hard drive/flashdrive/dvd/cd somewhere in your house, for free? I mean something you already do, why would they give you that and make it their duty to care for it for free?
So, now you have a limit to how many files you can download a month. but all of your crap is out there in the “Cloud’ (say with spooky ghost fingers) and you can’t get to it. How do you get around this issue next month?
Easy. Go around using up everyone’s file limit each month (file limit that is mythical because the internet is not a bucket that they have to refill like a some mythical servant to a dungeon master) Comcast was busted lying about this right here. so if this is a social experiment to teach us about bandwidth hogs, it is a control experiment guided and leading (misleading).
We all know how this will play out
After the second year “demand so high we have to increase the cost but give you a free button for your shirt says “I get &(**&ed by Comcast”.
and of course that co-worker who always makes bad decisions and stand proud of his Anti-accomplishments will be happy to wear that pin and laugh at you for not having the pin.. These are the typical Comcast users.
Or more people will die quickly because the stranger in the car sitting out in front their house, might just be borrowing internet.
Someone please make this freaks go away.
