It took us forever to move from Ipv-4 to Ipv-6 when other countries had done so and stabilized their systems. Us; we have so much "greed gouging in this country" until we make it crazy, people don't just care to make a profit, it is about who can become the wealthiest, not who can make the best and most stable system.
Every element of our Corporate System is Vain Stricken.. Instead of simply paying people to work in the executive ranks, we give them stock options, we give them elaborate perks of every sort and then turn and treat them as if they are Kings, then give them a fortune for failure, when they are sent away, with massive millions. As we saw with Wells Fargo and many others... these people should have gone to jail, but the label of CEO is now like a Diplomat, given Immunity from prosecution, just by label and being one of wealth.
We need a system that deals with Executive, with the level of integrity China deals with its criminal executives, China has no problem "stripping them of their ill gotten gains" as well as for some, "they have no problem executing them", for betraying the public trust. I'm not saying we need to adopt China's entire legal process, only adapt ours to punish the executive and wealthy for the damage they do to business, industry, corporate system and the general public by fraud, rip off and programmed failure to extract a profit. We need to stop allowing these people to walk away and go to another company and recreate the criminal process, it should be declared as a treason against the American Economic System and its people. They damage cities, the counties they are in, the state, the community and ultimately the United States Industrial stability. "No Man" should get way with such a vile crime !!!!
We need to Rethink the Role and Importance of the CEO
Quote:
The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is responsible for leading the development and execution of the Company's long term strategy with a view to creating shareholder value.
The share holder is not the one who should determine the nature or course of the business, they are simply investors, who invest because they believe in the product, the services and performance of the company, and they invest upon the assumption of risk, that the company is a good performer, and when they invest, they take the risk of market up turns and market downturn... Their role should never be to try and become the "manager" of the business nor its operations. If they don't like the investment, then sell their shares and go to another where they are most satisfied. Because this craziness that now exist, there should be limits, placed on companies as to how much of themselves they can put on the public market, EXAMPLE: NO COMPANY should be allowed to list more than 30% of their value on the Stock Market. and at no time should they be allowed to have more than 15% of their company wrapped up in Bonds. If they divest the 30% in the market, then by the same % they can increase their issuance of Bonds. Therefore, at no time is there ever more than 45% of their company tied up in the markets, and No % of Stock Holder, or Bond holders can have any right to force sales of the company, nor have any input in the operations of the company.
Investing is a Option of Chance ones Takes, they are not buying Ownership to Lead and Direct the Company, they are investing to bet on the continued success and invest funds that the company can invest in R&D, and Expand, but they should never be pushed to OVER EXPAND, for the sake up pumping up the value of Investors, by fictions of over-expansion. If a company cannot secure a market share of 30% or greater, then they should not expand. They must have metrics that assure they can retain that 30% with growth potential for a minimum of 5 yrs and that should include, that they must be able to maintain 25% of that initial 30% of market shares for 7-10 yrs. That is what a Long Term Stock system is designed to do. If it can't do that, then the company should not be listed. NO company should have themselves so heavily listed that any change in the markets cause them to fold over, because they borrowed against fiction and unsustainable growth or stock ticker speculation. No borrow should be based on Stock Ticker Price, only on what is a % of ACTUAL PRODUCTION AND ACTUAL SALES.
We have to become a smarter society, then we can have smarter investments, rather than the wealthy paying to push up stock ticker prices, and then cash out and watch if fall to where it should have been. but it then can't function because it took on debt based on the higher fiction, which it was never capable of meeting in the first place.
When truth and fact is, they are the weakest link in the Corporate system. Companies can loose a CEO and keep moving. American was built with Company Presidents at the helm, their focus was on the company, and its actual production and its actual sales and they valued their ability to provide superior service.
No more!!!!its now, sell cheap disposable products, offer no services, and make it as difficult as possible for a customer to interact with the pretense of customer service, do everything possible to ensure that no product is repairable, and sell no after market parts, just push the consumer to repurchase, charge top dollars, and ensure that any digital programming, locks out any pre built in capability, unless the customer pays top dollar, and ensure to build it with the lowest grade of components as directed to the manufacture as a mandate, all to facilitate short life cycle. The pretend that it is cheaper to produce in foreign markets, to avoid American claiming the need to have industry on American soil, but sell it to American AS IF, it the company paid an American living wage to produce it. End result: RIP OFF the consumer in any and every way conceivable. If the consumer complains, hire someone with a bought and paid for degree label, who wears a suit, to spin the lie to convince the people why the packaging has become small, and the quality reduced, while promoting the higher quality which is what the consumer SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN THE FIRST PLACE, but tell the consumer, WHEN they pay more, they can get what was advertised. It's the biggest sham every played out upon and against the American people and repeat it until the American people accept it as standard practice.
With the CEO, their dominant focus in on Creating more value for Stock Holder, to the point, they expect to break a record every 3 months. WHEN THAT IS NOT WHAT THE STOCK MARKET WAS DESIGNED FOR. Nor was any company designed to be run and decision made based on the "speculation fiction of the stock market".... The stock market was to reflect the progress based on actual production and actual sales.
Banking was before respectful of peoples money, they did not loan money to take over something, and strap it with debt as part of something that a company already could not afford.
But now, with the spin being all about "stock ticker fiction" well run and good production companies are ran out of business by the weight of the debt load, and they can't produce and sell to meet the weight of the debt.

Not to be nit-picking, but the internet hasn't gotten slower. It's just that the technology and content that come with online applications require more bandwidth to function. Such as sites like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, YouTube, etc... Basically, your multimedia websites.
Internet is faster in countries overseas. I don't know the exact reason, I can only speculate that it may have to do with gov't regulations in the US and the amount of population we have over here. But then again, some countries are blocked from certain sites that the USA are free to access, so there's always a give or take.
But let's not kid ourselves. I an fully aware of the days of yesteryear when I dialed up to the internet and your 1996 version of Yahoo would love, piece by piece. This, again, a website mostly consisting of very light gifs and mostly text. We've come a long way since then. I will say, other than web applications that provides us video and audio entertainment, I don't really see the purpose of huge complex webpages for anything else, especially personal webpages (That I don't think most people even do anymore.)

The HTML change to the newer version supports the container based sites, where the containers are fed from a data base that may pull-in multiple feeds from script processing that happens behind the scenes, in theory its good.. but the generalized "bottleneck" of the system is a consistent standard that has not much changed its ratio, and the cache is often time the bottleneck.... We went to fast processors, as a input and output, but the systems within are where the bottlenecks are built in.
Surely regulations and clone script building is part of the cause... for many many reasons, known and unknown by the public. Most hackers know what is the issue, but its to their benefit for those issues therefore they are not complaining, except the super hackers, who could get in and out quicker if the speed were faster full circle.
We have not mastered Encryption, nor have we mastered the "I/O gates" in Routing systems, if we had, no one could gain any access to anything without leaving a traceable footprint, that no matter how many routers it sent it through it would have a id, that is traceable. We need to build better router gates, but that too may slow the process, which them means we need better systems with less bottleneck.
American itself is Weird".... when 99.9% of our stuff is digitized, and here we are having this stuff built on foreign soil, and we don't know what they build into it. we might claim to set standards, but the whole point of a Trojan is to be a Trojan... undetectable until activated.
How this country could be so IGNORANT to Build its Computers in foreign lands, is the same sham it pushed on the American people of saying we cost too much in labor... yet, we want to boast about the highest standard of living, but we don't want to pay people to live it.
Mass production has made it possible to build that stuff here in American and pay top wages and sell it for the same price if not less than some of this foreign stuff is sold to us.
As I stated in another post... for every 300%-3000% profit a few gain, it cost this nation 600-6000% in deterioration cost and down fall of city, counties, states, communities and living standards of American People, our infrastructure and our forward progress to modernize our system and this society is either stagnated or regressive to the point that deterioation is escalated in the eroding states in every category of our infrastructure and industrial systems.
China has out-built us 1000:1 since we started that outsourcing madness, and everything in American has declined by comparable levels...
Yes we need Trade, but No Sane Country that Cares about its own Legacy of Survival and Standard would Outsource everything that made it a great industrial power.
We could today, never build at the rate we did Pre-World War II if we had to, we barely even make screws necessary to do so, we are dumb enough that we import Cinder Blocks and Dry Wall, and you likely can't even find a house built in American in the past 30 yrs that is not 70% or greater built with Imported Materials.
Go Look in your own Closet, 80% or more of everything in it was manufactured outside of America !!! go thought your house and see how many appliances you can find that were built in American... the figure might be 1 out of 100 if not 1 out of 1000.
This is what you and many others sent their kids off to College to learn and do... while they craft policy that ultimately devastates their own parents, all for the sake of a pat on the back, a bonus and trying to get now, what it took their parents 20 or 30 yrs to amass. No one came from outer space and made this mess, it was done by American People and their Children of the last 50 yrs. And they did it with the same bias and bigotry and racism and greed, that their parents taught them from 50 yrs ago.
When American accept the blame they created only then can it change it, but most refuse to acknowledge it, therefore they can't fix what they first can't acknowledge.
Instead they run around boasting about how much money their kids make, when they themselves can barely survive.. but they never stop and figure out, that if it was not for abusive gaming, none of them would be claiming so much high net worth. They would be earning a nominal income relative to that their parents once earned with a increase that is in % variables based on time and moderate inflation.
Who the hell every heard of $100's to go see a Basketball or Football Game? When the First 6 Flags Theme Parks opened; the entry price was $2.50 - $2.75 ... but we get so hung up on status we boast like its a thing of pride to have paid $500-900 for a weekend to go see a sports team play.(not counting air fare).
Then we can now see that Middle Class is exactly as McCain inadvertently said back during his presidential campaign, that Middle Class was $250K upwards annual income. Thus so, anything less you are a member of "The Poor and the Working Poor". And we have a system fighting against paying a living Minimum wage, of $10, when the average adult working a full time jobs should be earning in the $18-20 range, just to make a two income home have a 65 -70K income. which is still 300+% less than the 250k median income of what is low to moderate Middle Class, because the middle to upper levels of middle Class may be around 350K-700K, and the upper middle class is 700K-1.5mil.
Yet our working people can barely afford a $350 a month bachelors pad without a full kitchen. We see community after community "falling" because people want to live in a nice average home of what use to be considered middle class working society, but they can't afford the basic upkeep.
We the people need to awaken, stop worshiping the wealthy, because they are not going to give you anything !!! Make them Respect the Rest of Society, by standing up against them ripping off the people, all so they can claim exaggerated wealthy levels. and learn how to respect building wealth by honorable means and invested time to gain such over the years of quality and stable ethical business habits and growth modeling.
Greed depletes everything and damages everyone.
Whats happening with Internet and Media Streaming and Cable, is telling a story, we need to see, know and understand and work to contain it and push it back into respecting our system of society.
The instrumental nature it has become to life, should force its cost downwards !!!!! The honeymoon is over, now it has to settle down and get off the greed train and think long term stability as a generalized utility.

I'm confused. Comcast keeps increasing my speeds every once in a while. They did not charge me more for it either. Links open up fine. My videophone works great. I chat with a guy in Asia and his video is the one that has problems. What am I missing?

I, however prefer not to be bombarded with overly aggressive advertisements. Even ad block does not stop all of it,
I understand your complaints, I have the same one. On the other hand sites like my own that have a light ad footprint are also seeing their ad revenue decline. If I want to serve you ads to view my web site and you choose to view my web site you will see ads. There is no question about whether or not I can do this, the only question is whether or not I want to pull the trigger. As ad revenues contiue to decline because of adblocker more sites will be pulling that trigger.

I think you like hearing yourself talk, you're not engaging other posters.
I use to make websites, and when the system changed to use the "containers" it changed everything, because the loading of those containers seem to be connected to some many sites, until the web pages become jerky, and then they continue to jerk and adjust for a matter of seconds while all this stuff loads.
You need "containers" to divide up a page. The reason you'll get a jerky web page is because they are not setting the dimensions of the container in which case the browser needs to calculate the real estate the content needs to take up. If you have an image for example inside a "container" and it hasn't finished downloading yet the container will not be set until the browser finishes downloading the file. This can be avoided to some degree but not entirely.
Population density, infrastructure costs are lot more here in US because the population is spread out more.
I figure that's the case.
