At least that would finally enable Bluewin-TV ;-)))

But then, isn't France the country where it is illegal to use
encryption? No more SSH?
Besides that, in France it is illegal to distribute software
that allows the transfer of pirated works. This might enclose
programs such as "Azureus", "Firefox", "wget",
"ftp"... (shall I
go on?)
CU, Venty
P.S. About Azureus: Try downloading the DVD image of Kubuntu
without using Bittorrent. Good luck.

Hello,
It's only 2 providers filtering on many others. Downloading for personal use is not
prohibed till you dont redistribute.
Anyway with European law's it will come in all countries. But anyway your argument is
right for internet connections. But
with such nice pipes you easily can provide nice HD TV or other nice contents.
Cu,
Nico

Well, I'd first have to get a faster computer then to play HDTV
stuff. That Creative Commons movie called "The Elephants Dream"
did not play on the PC. The Playstation 2 with homebrew player
SMS[1] would have played it alright. One wonders, how this can
be done with only one 235 MHz MIPS CPU (the "Emotion Engine").
But then the PS2's ethernet module, although it talks 100Base-TX
as the protocol, effective throughput is only about 10 to 12
MBit/s or so. It could not handle the necessary bandwidth for
streaming that hi-res divx, causing it to stutter really ugly
during busy scenes.
Okee, it starts growing rather off-topic. Anyone interested in
(ab)using their Playstation 2, either follow that link[1] below,
or ask me at the next Beer Event. =:-)

Say, like viruses, SPAM, some UDP packets or simply a buch of
identical http GETs to signal your existence (or rather your lack of
care) to others? Clearly, we woulf fill up the two gigs with ssh ;).
I don't want to see such pipes in the hands of most users.

Just to remind everyone drooling here, that GPON is a shared medium,
just like Coax (TDM/TDMA), and the bandwidth is usually split to 32
or 64 users, use your bc(1) to figure out what the maximum speed per
user is. Just like nobody gets the 40MBits/s on Cable, the Frogs
won't get GBits/s.
Of course it is a little bit infuriating. If I lived 10 meters
farther south, I'd be getting 20MBits/s for 15 €, instead I'm getting
2MBits/s for 70 CHF from MonpolyCom.

1. Get long power cord and weather proof case.
2. Put WLAN access point in weatcher proof case.
3. Connect power
4. Enjoy
(Alternatively, you could also use wired network instead)
