The gluttonous Japanese? Written by Adrian Wooster It was interesting to read the BBCi article about "broadband gluttons". BT has, apparently, written to some 3000 of its broadband customers because they have been consuming more than 100 Gb worth of traffic per month. A collegue of mine, Brian Condon, coincidentally showed me a paper written on Japanese broadband behaviour, where 100 Gb per month is average - and where they create as much as they consume. Has BT got this wrong, or is the entire Japanese population gluttonous? Perhaps the answer was in the BBC article - they sought Web User magazine to support their arguments. The web is so last century when you can stream, and peer, and talk, watch, and create  with out ever seeing an HTML page. [ Back ]
