Rob Powell, are you kidding me with your post measuring online video. Next thing is that you will be agreeing with Ike Elliott that price decline will offset bit growth, causing the bandwidth market to be flat.
You see, Rob had the audacity to write:
The explosion, if it happens, will come from more videos being viewed at higher average bitrates and for longer times – a triple effect.
Isn’t this crazy? Isn’t it nuts? Isn’t it short-sighted? I haven’t seen a Powell lose this much credibility since there were no mobile WMD trailors in Iraq.
Unfortunately I ran out of time to explain. I’ll pick this up tomorrow.

Hah, you’re assuming I had any credibility to start with! But it would help if you’d at least *hint* which direction you’re going to jump – are you disputing the idea that counting online video views is not a good way to measure the effects of the video market on bandwidth growth, or are you merely disputing the word ‘if’? Haha…
