Disappointing piece in today’s San Jose Mercury News Business section: “Internet speed battle heats up.”
The article talks throughout about connection speeds.
Notice how the media has adopted the language of Hollywood and the cable companies, which provide us with “content” for “surfing” the Web. Connection speeds, not download speeds.
Not a single mention of upload speeds throughout the article. Not one. (The cable companies haven’t changed their pathetic, paltry upload speeds? OK, then say so.) Jeez.
