Given the choice of moving to Japan or paying the higher US price, undoubtedly the vast majority of Americans will pay the higher US price. And like cable TV, they'll limit their internet service spending to a restricted level of service that they can still afford. If that means that 7 out of 10 existing adult webcam customers will cease to be an economic factor because they can no longer afford high speed massive bandwidth internet connections, that fits right in with my 'prediction' that the adult webcam hosts will wind up 'cutting' 7 out of 10 existing camgirls. Another factor that supports this 'prediction' is that marginally successful US camgirls are going to balk at the prospect of having to pay a future $500 a month ISP bill themselves in order to pay for their monthly HD video stream 'upload' bandwidth ! Under the telecom major's 'volumetric billing' proposal, their 'regular' cable modem ISP account would max out on bandwidth usage limit before the first week of the month has passed.Would you pay $500USD a month for 100Mbit/s connections that limit how much data you can download per month and what content you can see with your package (like in cable TV, if you want more content, you have to pay more) when in Japan they're paying $60USD a months for symmetric 100Mbit/s connections that don't have such caps
Arguably that's true, but it's also due to past 'overbuilding' that was done in the area of telecom infrastructure, in combination with unused internet backbone capacity that has consistently been available right up until this year.There's more into this than "lack of profitability" for migrating to FTTH. Last I remember, American ISP's are making a LOT of money compared to what they have to invest each year in infrastructure and maintenance
I suppose that one could apply the strip club business model, and conclude that business will be better than ever for the 2-3 existing camgirls who can make the 'cut'.you're right and it totally sucks!
