Yes, and when I was a kid, we had 30 chars per second, both ways,
and we were glad for it!

There's plenty of confusion to go around, though.  How can anyone
make sense of music and video distribution models that want to resell 
you the same production in different arrangement of bits?  Of crash-and-burn
Web business models that do give away the milk for free?  Of consumers
who intend to strain and break the asymmetric oversubscription model of ISPs?
