The answer was in the WSJ editorial from earlier in the week. But I also read that only a few percent of the carrying capacity of the lowly cooper wire is used for voice communication. I had BellSouth ADSL, and it was fast.

It is obvious that with DWDM the fiber overcapacity will take years to fill.

<<Every six to nine months the number of wavelengths (colors) on a single fiber thread doubles, from 4 in 1996 to 320 in 2001 -- all with no increase in cost. The amount of data that can be carried on each color of light is also increasing, but only one-half or one-third as quickly.>>
