More BW, Less Taxes

...

FWIW, I recently heard someone ask the question - "how do you go to your investors and tell them you need more money for more bandwidth because you don't want to efficiently manage your existing capacity?"

This is the business case for QoS, IMHO.

Which costs more, wholesale, raw bitpipes or qualified engineering talent to create/police the policies needed to maintain QoS?

That's the $64k question. :-)

From what I've seen, there isn't a simple answer. In places where bandwidth is exorbantantly expensive (such as outside the United States), simply over provisioning isn't an acceptable answer.

Why does BW cost so much? --bill
