Wrong, asshole.....we're talking about GB of DATA.
BANDWIDTH auctions are held continuously to sell unused bandwidth, which
can't be stored of course, to recover some of the costs of the bandwidth
owners.

The big corporation has a nationwide bandwidth network it pays a lot of
money for. This weekend, it's virtually shutdown for the holiday so all
that bandwidth goes to waste, already paid for by the contract. So, the
big corporation sells Mom's Tire and Internet Service or Verizon Wireless
bandwidth for a bargain so Mom can maximize profits over the holiday
weekend by NOT having to buy more bandwidth to satisfy her customers'
heavy usage while they're all home on holiday.
You guys don't really think ISPs, Sellphone carriers, cable companies,
phone companies let you use all this bandwidth at home so cheap with them
paying full price for bandwidth all the time, do you. I didn't think you
were that stupid.
Unused, after hours bandwidth, the kind the consumers use on weekends and
when they get home from work, is bought and sold in online bandwidth
auctions between the carriers and bandwidth-rich corporations to level
the load. It has nothing to do with RADIO bandwidth, asshole-as-usual.
Sellphone companies are trying to increase the already horrendous profits
by limiting use of bandwidth so they don't have to buy enough to keep up
with the ever-increasing demand of streaming, VoIP, downloading, P2P,
gaming, etc. They simply forbid use or limit per customer use to some
rediculously low level to keep them from sucking at the bandwidth tit.
This lets us get $70/month X 5000 customers out of a minimal size pipe we
buy from bandwidth auctions for peanuts, except during the business day
when none or little is available and they have to pay full price. It's
not anywhere NEAR as profitable as $1,282,000/GB sold to the really
stupid SMS users at 20c for 156 bytes/message. Internet customers won't
pay that much for such little bandwidth.....no matter how omnipotent the
fat corporation thinks it is......
Bandwidth is really cheap after business hours and on weekends and
holidays....which is EXACTLY why Sellphone carriers let you talk
unlimited on digital, the same bandwidth as data uses, all day
Saturday....on bandwidth going to waste.
