"...Even as microprocessors and related silicon
double in most metrics every 18 months, they will forever fall farther and farther behind in their
ability to keep up with much faster growth in bandwidth."

Allen, I think that Metcalfe's Law has a time dependency:

If the value of the network increases with the square of the number of nodes (chips?), and the number of nodes (chips) is doubling every 18 months, then the value of the network is doubling every 9 months.
