I have been searching for comments on this broadband-enabled device showdown (and on the similarly dissappointing attempt at a demonstration by Adobe the next morning.) Fact is, we didn’t get to see much at either of these Streaming Media West 2010 sessions because the network connection wasn’t good enough… in a four-star, business-oriented hotel in Los Angeles, the network wasn’t good enough to demonstrate video streaming products for consumers.
Am I wrong or is this weird? Maybe I’m weird. I had the temerity to ask if network quality–Internet quality, that is–wasn’t gating the adoption of the devices and technology on display (if not actually demonstrable.) The answer came back that the network “shouldn’t” be a problem because Akamai says the average household dowload speeds are good enough. But download speeds is only part of it and I know the network is a problem. (Disclosure: IPeak Networks makes technology that solves the network quality problem)
Sure, Internet access is pretty well ubiquitous in North America and yeah, download speeds are adequate (putatively, anyways) but there is more to it than access and download speeds: network quality is the thing.
The quality wasn’t there in that hotel last week. To twist the question I asked last week, can we count on the Internet for quality in every home in the land, at any time of the day, no matter what our spouses, kids, and neighbors are doing at the same time? Nope. I don’t think we can.
