Hey WHT,

If you chould request any service, what whould it be?
Details if you please :)

Thanks alot Guys and Girls :D

More bandwidth :). Seriously bandwidth is what is holding us back in todays markets.

Is that beacuse it whould allow more complex websites/web apps?

I would like to see a startup that allows you to transfer huge amounts of programs, files or anything like it. I am talking about more that 1GB stuff. And it has to be fast as a shark! :D

I'm quite happy with my bandwidth. :)

Fastest ISP in Canada, 15Mbit/second and those are "real world" speeds with no transfer limits. Most providers in Canada cap people at 50-100GB a month, but not mine.

I'd like to see a lower-priced alternative to Paypal that gains the ubiquity that Paypal has.

More bandwidth (lots, lots more, so you could run everything over the web) and lower latency.

Oh, and how about a truly universal low-cost payment service that works in every country of the world for everyone and is 100% secure and fraud proof. (This in response to the Paypal comment by at0m.)

Good one. I cannot stand paypal. Granted tons of people use, tons of scammers also use it.

Paypal needs new guidelines for digital delivery products and services. All a buyer has to do is file a claim with them. If there is no tracking number, paypal will just give them there money back.

PayPal huh...
What about e-gold? are they ok?

Yea, there are a bunch of great payment services, but PayPal holds the majority right now.

I want there to be more media sites. Like Music Videos without all the DMCA issues, Movies with thousands of channels, Songs, News from every city from the stations itself.
In a nuttshell, I want everything On Demand. I am not talking about downloading and ripping copyrighted material. Im talking about viewing it on a licensed site anytime I want. Even if I have to pay a fee. I want it all on one site.
Thats what I would like to see. Asking to much?

I would love it if search engines manually reviewed sites or let the public manually review sites to offer the best and only the best at the top positions. Relevancy counts.

i heard of some new tech for fibre...

something about how the actual line is made so that you can carry signal for tens of thousands of miles (so far tested) without a single signal repeater in bewteen.

i guess the guy that invented it gave his mother/grandmother a 40gbps internet connection in her own home. (and she has never even used a PC before)

i would personally like to see that tech become wide spread.

its one of those things. where 1 weak link destroys the entire strong web...

if everyone dont use it. it wont be much use..

i would also like to see the "full" implementation of ipv6....

maybe then it would be easier to get ahold of a few spare IP's...

the bandwidth/pings and IP issues is what is holding our WWW back from unleashing its true glory...

Hi,

before bandwidth can be seriously augmented, it should be seen to that all people have a low-cost broadband access. I lived on a 56k modem (paid per minute) line for the last 5 years and if you wait 30 minutes to even see something resolve on websites where webmasters didn't calc in low-bandwidth access you get a tad angry at times.

What I'd like to see?

- spammers and their clients (!) being convicted to lengthy prison deals and high payments (I'd also accept crucification as an alternative)

- an email system which truly does away with spamming

- less government, rules & regs in the internet as a whole, more liberty

- a withdrawal of huge companies from the internet which consider it as nothing but a market place and marketing tool while crushing customers and competition alike by simple amount of money pumped into such deals

- a much less idiotic system of awarding people domain rights in case of dispute

Greetings

Hell Yes!
Anyone else agree?

Perhaps reduction in hosting companies who cannot provide good service to their clients and creating a bad impression on the reputed companies also.

Personally, I would like to see TV on the Internet. When I say TV, I would like to have about 1,000,000 TV stations to watch from and the ability to select any movie that was ever played with a click of a mouse. That would be nice.

This would, of course, extend to our cellphones as well.

I am totally with you on this one, dude! But it seem like you want nothing. :D

Absolutely more bandwidth ... and less spam.

... make that no spam.

Everyone wants more bandwidth. Nothing new under the sun here!

This is a very, very, vague question.

It's all possible, it may take time, money && effort. But i'm sure all of these "wants" will become possible eventually, if not now even.

I think..

- No Spam
- I Agree with the internet TV etc, but once again, more traffic needed!

increased bandwidth and some good spam filtering.

Wow - several good ideas. I live in a very rural part of the US - I have DSL and my speeds are fine for what I do (1.5MB/Sec) - always wish for more though. The one thing I wish we had with ubiquity would be wireless. I don't mean AT&T wireless or Verizon - I mean some form of 802.11 type wireless. I am not even asking for free wireless but just wireless that works with my laptop. I travel a lot and most airports have gone away from free wireless - $10.00 for me to use it for an hour between flights(ugh). If I had wireless coverage that would transfer to where I am going that would be great.

I suspect it's only a matter of time before something along those lines show up (that's actually affordable). We are headed for a world were you can be online anytime, anywhere, with minimum hassle. We're already getting close to this. Give it five more years (give or take a couple of years :) )

I'd be looking for an alternative to Paypal. Something with better policies on digital items, and probably less fees - I mean a certain ammount is acceptable to me, but i transferred $100 the other day and lost about 6% in total fees, i think. It's just moneygrabbing. I'd love to make my own alternative, but without the support of places like eBay and so on, i'd never have any custoemrs :P
And, i'm a bit young to start stuff like that, at 15 :wink:

Maybe when i'm older :)

I agree.

I would like to see many things on the internet.

First of all: Yes more Bandwidth. Lucky Canadians. It's coming for us Americans soon.

Second: Internet Security to help protect against Spammers and viruses

Third: IPTV, why have a satellite on your house. Watch shows when you want and set it up in an entertainment solution for the whole family.

Better replication and load balancing options. I have one client who runs multiple data centers for one project and it's so complex finding quality solutions. Take DNS, while there should be a lot of geo dns options, there is not. DNS by itself is simple, geo target is very simple, why aren't the two together very simple? Also, mysql replication, especially over multiple providers still sucks. Just need to think more global instead of having to spend $,$$$,$$$ for a global solution.

+ better spam filters. I myself use 5 spam filters and it's still not enough.

I'm quite happy with my bandwidth. :)

By curiosity, which one you have ? You must be in Montréal downtown (or maybe using videotron) to have that :eek: or maybe in Ontario which I don't have any info about ADSL2

About paypal ... wouldn't google checkout pro be as easy as paypal ? (every payment things are done on your own website).

Faster access on the internet here in India :) Better Speeds :)

Don't those kind of contradict eachother?

I want to see more TLDs made, so people will stop registering domains and showing them on tv as 02849freecreditreporttoday.com, it's horrible!

That.

And for IE 6 (and IE 5 - god help us) to vanish completely.

Isn't that more the fault of domain speculation rather than a lack of TLDs, where some companies/individuals hold tens of thousands (and in some cases even hundreds of thousands) of domain names?

There are already a significant number of TLDs available.

More bandwidth is a must for me, I think the testing of Fiber, like Verizon FIOS should be an even testing of there service, not only on the east coast, but should be tested and brought out to California for testing also. Im jealous sorry :(. I'm with comcast and I sit at 8mbit/786k.
