Associated Press: Slower Upload Speeds Affecting Web 2.0 Applications

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on December 19, 2006 - 1:09pm.
New York - The Associated Press on Tuesday reported on how the imbalance between download and upload speeds offered by broadband providers is detracting from user experience now that uploading and sharing videos, music and photos is common practice. In some cases, download speeds provided to subscribers are 10 to 15 times faster that upload speeds. "The system is a hangover of the old mass media days," technology analyst Paul Saffo told AP. "Some consumers are uploading a tremendous amount of information and that's the thing the establishment just doesn't get."
