i have been hitting kill on this subject. but i see that good folk are posting to it. perhaps the best paper so far on broadband utilization is that of Kenjiro Cho, Kensuke Fukuda, Hiroshi Esaki, & Akira Kato. "The Impact and Implications of the Growth in Residential User-to-User Traffic." SIGCOMM2006, pp207-218. Pisa, Italy. September 2006. <http://www.iijlab.net/~kjc/papers/rbb-sigcomm2006.pdf> as it is based on measurements in a country with more advanced broadband deployment than the united states, where the carriers just promise it to the fcc in order to reinstate a monopoly or very small cartel, it may be more indicative of out future than our present. randy
