Residential customers need "lots and lots and lots" of bandwidth. So says Robin Bienfait, VP Network Operations for AT&T, in an interview at last week's Globalcomm industry trade show in San Francisco, where broadband was a major topic of discussion.
Ironically, large numbers of AT&T customers in El Dorado County might not even be able to hear Bienfait's remarks since they are streamed on a high speed video connection. That's because they have tiny, tiny, tiny amounts of dial up bandwidth since Ma Bell has done little if anything to upgrade her system in the county to support broadband.

Bienfait's "lots and lots and lots" of observation is in video clip 3 under "Related Content."
