The reference to bandwidth increases makes no sense, the bandwidth in most of the world is already far exceeding the 8Mb limit. Not everyone lives where you live :) In Germany you buy a 150Mbit connection for a flatrate and a cheap monthly rate, for instance. Not saying that Germany is where all the miners are, but since 150Mbit allows one to comfortably have 16 megabyte blocks, it is a good example of how far off Luke's calculations are from real-world. I don't belief your argument to push forward holds. -- Thomas Zander
