Odlyzko on the Broadband industry
Topic: Telecom Industry 11:49 pm EDT, Oct 17, 2002

"The impractical method for stimulating broadband adoption is to make music free on the Internet.... Total recorded music sales in the US come to a grand total of about $15 billion per year, while telecom spending is over 20 times higher.... (It would also demonstrate that the content tail should not be wagging the telecom dog, as it too often does in political, legal, and business discussions.)

A more practical method for stimulating broadband is to encourage
migration of voice calls to cell phones (which currently carry well
under 20% of total voice traffic). This would force the Baby Bells to utilize the competitive advantage of wired links by pushing broadband connectivity.

The third technique for stimulating broadband is to encourage innovative new wireless technologies."
