And in general, models have assumed, for a long time, that=20
customer demand patterns are largely asymmetric.
While that is true a lot of the time (especially for eyeball=20
networks), it is less so now due to social media. Social=20
media forces the use of symmetric bandwidth (like FTTH),=20
putting even more demand on the network, and making the gist=20
of this thread an even bigger issue, if you discount the=20
fact, of course, that Broadband in the U.S. currently sucks=20
for a developed market.
