<<According to Gilder's prediction won't CW's Terabit router be obsoleted by the all optical network? Which other start up's products would become obsolete?>> No. Don't confuse the term optical network with an all optical Internet (there will be no such thing, IMO). There are two types of networks, really - circuit switched (phone) and packet switched (data). The core may use wavelength switching, primarily in the circuit switched networks, which does not involve looking at data packets, but for packet switched networks, there is NO WAY that I can see that the data reaches it's final destination without actual routing of data packets. As the volume and speed of data increases, superfast routers will still be needed - even more so than today. The two technologies are complementary.
