facebook is the modern way. other than google, for advertisers to connect with potential buyers. it puts an end to that old song, 50% of advertising works, i just wish i knew which. at facebook, it is 100% of the advertising that works, which is why this company might be the greatest advertising vehicle of all time. it can be used for branding, direct marketing, local and national through a preselected audience that wants the product and likes the ads and that audience is the right demographic. meaning advertisers are reaching them before these people have made up their minds about what they like and they're often set in their ways about the prefaces when they get older, so they become too hard to sway. facebook gets them when you need them. i realize i wasn't giving facebook enough credit. since tv doesn't work as well as facebook on your mobile phone and 50% of the ads are on hand helds, they've crossed that threshold, i can see facebook taking serious ad dollars that would be destined for elsewhere. facebook has accelerating revenue growth. you know what that means. argh. and e

traditionally telecom moves bits from one place to another and now we have companies like google and facebook essentially building their own global infrastructure. it does not necessarily mean they are digging trenches, but they are running their own autonomous network to grow to scale. what that means in the case of instagram is suddenly they get to use facebook's big, global network. >> they are not laying their own fiber. google has their own local fiber initiative, not to be confused. is there something that is being consumed by the traffic of netflix and instagram? >> netflix says they are responsible for 30%-40% of the traffic in the evening in the u.s. it's an astounding number. >> that's amazing. at the problem with net neutrality goes away. -- that is a problem. verizon can charge if one customer of the millions is using 30% of your bandwidth, maybe you can charge them more and that could be a problem for the profitability of netflix, their growth, and the cost to subscribers. >> can't you tell that cory johnson does not like an all you can eat buffet/ netflix like the all you can ea
