It seems that cable companies really don’t think that American consumers need 1Gbps Internet services such as those offered by Google Fiber. We’ve already seen both former Time Warner Cable CFO Irene Esteves and National Cable & Telecommunications Association CEO Michael Powell dismiss delivering gigabit connectivity as “an irrelevant exercise in bragging rights,” among other things. And now we have Comcast executive vice president David L. Cohen, who has penned an editorial for The Philadelphia Inquirer insisting once again that offering gigabit speeds would be pointless because “most websites can’t deliver content as fast as current networks move, and most U.S. homes have routers that can’t support the speed already available to the home.” Cohen says that once there’s real demand for 1Gbps services then ”a competitive marketplace of wired and wireless broadband providers will be ready to serve it.”
