A couple of points of specific interest (not including the textual
color scheme on some pages that seems to create a visual "3D" effect
much more cheaply than James Cameron can manage):
1) Note the emphasis on how 20% of users ("top talkers") "consume" 80%
of bandwidth. What does this suggest in terms of how bandwidth/usage
caps will be argued as justifiable? And how does this relate to (2)?
2) Note that "IPTV" (full video delivery via TCP/IP) is the ultimate
goal of the convergence chart.
Once most or all services are the "same" TCP/IP bits, the conflicts of
interest inherent in ISPs being both content providers and the access
paths to competing content will be all the more stark.
Happy Holidays, all!
