BusinessWeek lets itself be a front for another round of "the internet is falling":
Every day, it seems, a new service pops up offering to send you video over the Internet. "Desperate Housewives," Stephen Colbert heckling the president, clips of bad dancers at wedding parties: It's all there.
You may be up for it, but is the Internet?
The answer from the major Internet service providers, the telephone and cable companies, is "no." Small clips are fine, but TV-quality and especially high-definition programming could make the Internet choke.
Over the last 10 years, I can't remember how many things have been about to make the internet choke. At one point, I think the mere existence of broadband on a large scale was going to do it.
Chicken Little, meet your local ISP. Just make sure to hold on to your wallet.
