Hamilton--ASPs Are Poised to Strike

Another current limitation is bandwidth. T-1s are nice, but with a throughput of 1.54Mbps—a measly 19KB/second—no one in their right mind is going to push eight-page signatures around.

"Technogurus"
On the flip side, ASPs will be able to provide the technical support that many printers and prepress technicians wish they had, or could afford: true 24/7 with fault tolerance and either UNIX or NT "technogurus" to keep the whole thing humming along smoothly, while all you have to do is get those pages ready for press. The thankless job of migrating completed jobs to tape and updating the database, as well as finding and restoring files when the client asks for a rerun, can now be yours for a single monthly fee.
