Clearly this is a way for Time Warner to discourage the use of Internet-streamed video services (such as Netflix) over their own pay-per-view TV services. They could care less about gamers and other nerds, since they don't compete in this space.
They'll argue that they are "network neutral" since they are allowing all /Internet/ traffic through without discrimination albeit with caps, while their proprietary, non-Internet video services are uncapped.
If this goes into effect, I will cancel all my Time Warner services. I'll likely be stuck with Verizon for Internet connectivity. I guess I'll get satellite for TV feed.
Absolutely. I'll continue to only download and stream my HD content as long as Time Warner doesn't cap bandwidth in my market. If they do that, then I'm not sure what I'll do. I don't fancy paying more for my bandwidth in these economic conditions.
From http://www.operationfirstcontact.com/blog/episode16.htm "Today, Mr. Rector, Paul, and I went out to Radioworld and purchased a transceiver. After much research, we decided to go with the ICOM Ic-V8000. For the cost, it has exactly what we need. On Friday, we're going to be integrating it into our setup, and doing all the necessary testing."
They put together an antenna and an AzEl rotator and used an off the shelf transciever.
What part of this is self-built? This seems like pretty standard amateur radio. Take away the AzEl rotator and get a handheld Arrow satellite antenna and anyone with a amateur radio license can do this for under a $1,000.
"I'm heading to university next year, and I've purchased a MacBook. I'm also taking my four year old desktop, just in case I'm left with no computers when the MacBook is being repaired or whatnot. With only two USB ports on a MacBook, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Budget is about $100, and of course, it needs OS X support. Thanks for the help!"
