NYT: Why Bandwidth Is the Oil of the Information Economy
Great article comparing bandwidth to oil, in the NYTimes:
“Americans today spend almost as much on bandwidth as we do on energy. A family of four likely spends several hundred dollars a month on cellphones, cable television and Internet connections, which is about what we spend on gas and heating oil.”
Interesting comparison. Read on at NYTimes.com.
How much do you spend on bandwidth (internet, mobile, cable tv,…)? I think I’ve been payment roughly the same amount for ten years now, though I do get more speed and data (and voice, sms…) allowance.
