Ray, even the megabit reality will be dependent on where the two communicating end points happen to be. If both end points are within reach of the same TB hub (in other words, if they are both on the same access platform local to the same sector hub), then they may be able to see megabit speeds. Beyond the local access platform, however, it will once again depend on what kinds of links exist (how fat they are) looking upstream towards the core. If the link between the hub and the cloud is limited to T1, or even T3 speeds, and if there are an appreciable number of end users originating at the same TB hub site, then its conceivable that throughputs could be limited to sub-T1 rates for any individual user. In short, the long shopping list of factors which characterize Internet bottlenecking don't go away simply because someone is using a TeraBeam access link. True, when proper conditions are met, TB will be very useful as a means of establishing high speed Internet "access." But speeds which can be realized on an end to end basis will still depend on factors which are outside of the reach and purview of the TB platform. FAC
