On Optical transport

While we see many analogies of data networks comparing them to the railway and the highways, these analogies do not capture what is going on on the optical side of transport.

Optical transport -as those new technologies are put in place- is the ocean. Bandwidth will be there just like the water mass bridging Europe and the US. But this is dark fiber.

To lit up, i.e., carry stuff across, you need containers, forward agents, insurance companies, ships, container terminals and deep sea harbors. That is the costly part of using the ocean as a transport medium.

Does it make a sense of talking about water glut? Yes it does if one can't get rid of the old way of thinking. Thinking that is not lateral like mine.
