Okay I am going directly to questions asked in header
what would I do with this kinda connection?
I use internet for
1] Entertainment : Streaming music, Stream epps of fav show, Stream movies ( no net flix or something)
 
You don't rent the content, you license it - there's a small difference in that it's a one-time fee rather than like, monthly or yearly or whatever... even IF the studios/labels are trying to make a buck from each different format.

As it is, they'd want money from us if I had a copy of the video on VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray AND a Digital Download (or cassette, CD, Digital, as the case may be).

I would say that a license should cover any and all mediums for personal use, as in, 1 or 2 copies per license holder, unless said license holder wants to buy multiple licenses for some reason.

If you buy stuff from iTunes/mac app store one can use the content on at-least 5 Apple devices registered with that account.

I think high speed connections will become really useful for common folks in a year or two when Google, Microsoft, Apple will have matured their cloud infrastructure and made it really easy to store and access one's personal data on the cloud.

I really hope ISPs will set more realistic FUPs so that cloud computing can take off in a big way in 3rd world countries like India.

You're misinterpreting what I've said - I mean different mediums, as in, I should be able to have the original on CD *AND* a digital copy for my ipod/phone/etc, because damned if I'm going to carry around a discman.

I think high speed connections will become really useful for common folks in a year or two when Google, Microsoft, Apple will have matured their cloud infrastructure and made it really easy to store and access one's personal data on the cloud.

Mature is relative - I've had Gmail for the better part of 7 years now, Google Docs for probably 4 (it came out in '07 or '08, didn't it?) - it seems pretty mature to me. Likewise with iTunes/ dot mac/ mobile me/ whatever Apple is calling it's service these days. Yes, they have outages, but that's a risk you take.

I really hope ISPs will set more realistic FUPs so that cloud computing can take off in a big way in 3rd world countries like India.

It's not necessarily that the FUP needs to be modified (well, it does, but for the sake of an argument, let's say that other ISPs had the same model as what we're building and only account for traffic originating or bound for destinations outside of it's network or peering partners and thus anything hosted inside the network is not accounted/charged for), but the core infrastructure within the ISP should be such that the information stored in the cloud is somewhat local - rather than grabbing your gmail from a server in the US, it should be (in theory) somewhere in India.

In my experience for example, Yahoo offers you the chance to move your stuff to a local server when you change country. Google may or may not do this automatically. If the company in question can host it's content in India for example, without having to worry about the horrendous charges levied by some ISPs and peering exchanges (in other words, if said charges were more... sane) then I'd say that such a move could be the catalyst for the takeoff of cloud services in a country like India.
 
@ mgya real thing is always better thn the fake agreed :) btw wht were u doing on exbill just thr fr offical purpose thn I think :pbut i am more of movie dwnloader nd would be grt to watch ytube in hd fr a change as at current internet speeds its total fail..

What is exbill?

but i am more of movie dwnloader nd would be grt to watch ytube in hd fr a change as at current internet speeds its total fail..

I think that's the general consensus of many people - which is why we should make (legal) content cheap and easily accessible and "illegal" content, well, can't really comment on that.

FOr personal use you can use it any wehre in world even the FBI warning says to right at begaining, but then tha warning dosent even apply here in India. As long as southeast asia is here we are going to have digital copies of everything pirated easily in hard format (thus less availibility of more titles) and as long as EU, canada and US are there we wont have less of digital media on soft format ( more availibility) India and companies in India aer ignorant of copyright law for 2 reasons 1] They dont think it worth the money here as of now 2] Its practically chaos you cant fix the leak if leak is from one end to other.
I personally belive you should OWN the content once you buy it and not RENT IT so it can be de-functed as and when greedy bastards think its time to shut it off...

you are getting it wrong for personal use means non commercial personal use, like going to your friendly neighborhood tracker and d/ling the latest movie or mp3s or flacs [ which btw no studio provides in loseless format only p2p groups do] this legit in some countires not in U.S.A, U.K, and many other, but U.S,A is the biggest copy right troll in the world, the govt there is funded and lobbied hard by MPAA/RIAA, these guys spend millions and millions in lobbing , so you can get laws like ACTA, protect IP , the tottaly illegal domain seizures by ICE and DHS shows in whose pockets they are, wiki leaks cable gates showed how they have pushed, threatened other countries in to follow the same laws, NZ, recently passed the 3 strikes law in a big hurry to please the big brother, as your custom title says 'battle for internets has began' and it is no joke it has really began, it is not about file sharing it is about a free internet which does not belong to media companies and govts , a net without censorship and yes right now where in middle of a net revolt, and as usual tech will always prevail , try what they cannot cannot compete with the resources at hand of net users , we wrote the source code and we will change it whenever we like do control damage to net [ by we i mean net users]

As long as southeast asia is here we are going to have digital copies of everything pirated easily in hard format (thus less availibility of more titles)


^ totally wrong strret pricay needs to wiped out , but it is a complicated situation where you have the real mafia [ bad guys with guns] who control this 10 billion p/a business and they have politicians and laws guys in their pockets vs your average joe kid who just downloads for his own use NOT to make make money out of it.

as for formats and all i made this post
