Professional ‘voice of reason’ Jeff Veen on the broadband myth
“You know what’s really striking, though? I heard a VP at Yahoo talking recently about the speed of their site. He said that even corporate users with massive connections within the enterprise complain about slow sites. They’ve got all the bandwidth they could need, and are accessing one of the leanest sites on the Web, and they want it even faster. They want Web sites to respond as fast as the apps do on their new gigahertz computers. Know what that means? Broadband won’t solve any of our interface performance problems on the Web. Your company doesn’t need a broadband strategy. You need to solve these problems with design.”
