Great question.  As Mayor of the Internet, let me ask a few questions share a few observations.

1.  You pay $x/month for your connection to the Internet.  How much will Shaw Communications charge for you to get 100 Mb/s download?  4x?  8x? 100x?  How much would it actually cost them to do so?  Hint:  The answer is 0.  Explain.

2.  Why the difference between “download” and “upload” speeds?  Why are uploads 10x slower than downloads? Use the words “consumer” and “producer” in your answer.

3.  What would the cable television industry (who is also providing your connection to the Internet) prefer I spend my time watching?  Which is more entertaining?

a)  YouTube of Dean Playing Guitar
b)  Curling on TSN

4.  What is the difference between the Internet and broadband?  Hint:  Nobody owns the Internet.  Hint 2:  Time Warner Cable in the United States has started calling what you have “wideband”.

5.  How much does this connection cost?  What’s the difference between A+ and A grade Internet?

There’s only one thing harder than starting a new business: Re-inventing an old one.

The soul cannot be outsourced. Either get with the program or hire a consultant in Extinction Management. No vision, no business. Your life from now on pivots squarely on your vision of human potential.
