One has to laugh

I spend about a minute gently clicking on the scroll thing att he side of this page. I want to pull up the place I intend to write this pice on without losing the word processing aids the box holds.

I am reminded about the interfaces that all computers had once. I am writing about Time Warner.

 

Time Warner Cable chief financial officer Irene Esteves recently said that people in the USA don’t really want the gigabit speeds offered by Google Fiber and other high speed providers.

On Wednesday, at a conference in San Francisco, Esteves downplayed the importance of offering a service to compete with Google, as reported by The Verge. “We’re in the business of delivering what consumers want, and to stay a little ahead of what we think they will want…. We just don’t see the need of delivering that to consumers,” she said, referring to gigabit-speed internet connections.

How easy it is to revert 10 or 20 years. I forgot I wasn’t on this page when I went to find the following reference:

http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/02/time-warner-cable/

AOL-Time Warner used to be my ISP when my whole desktop and internet experience runs like the formatting behind this page.

This was in the days Napster was being hounded off the world’s servers. An age where few of the world’s servers were not banks, university colleges and multinational corporations. (OK, they still are but it doesn’t feel like it these days -you know what I mean, the world has grown and obstacles have shrunk.)

Only a country like the USA would think it is capable of colonising a country or settling disputes with good old fashioned clockwork guns. Only a country like the USA would imagine it is possible to hold back progress with good old fashioned protectionism.

Last year Google began rolling out the kind of internet connections that you can get in the large cities in Asia. It is only supplying them to the large cities of the USA. But that is all they need. Contemporary utilities like Comcast and AT&T will continue to supply the country with it’s good old fashioned regular sized connections and Google will own all the cities -and counting.

10 years ago AOL failed to supply the world with entertainment. Their alliance with Time Warner was a disaster. AOL don’t operate in the 51st state anymore. They left me high and dry without so much as a thanks but no thanks.

Time Warner dropped them like a dog walker’s handbag. A few days ago Comcast bought Time Warner. And I have run out of all the page space I wish to scroll as far as on this website.

 

Yech!
