Mr. Gilder, we are honored. <The bottle neck in this picture is actually Moore's Law, and companies will have to learn to use bandwidth to compensate for the slower development of chip technology relative to photonic communications.> I'm wondering how invariant you feel Moore's Law is. I think of it more as Moore's Guideline, and am wondering what your take is on recent "silicon" breakthroughs - IBM's copper and Intel's 2-bit flash memory (which caused them to suggest that Moore's Law may no longer hold), as well as the consortium goal of using extreme ultraviolet (and X-ray and electron beam) lithography to achieve 1 billion transistors/chip by 2011? And then there is the TXN DSP (C6X) breakthrough which purportedly breaches some significant processing bottlenecks, and will be synergist in the speeding of electronics. Do you foresee the possibility that chip tech may in fact keep up with, or even exceed, photonics? And thank you for your brilliant and elegant narratives and directives on the world's scientific, commercial and cultural metamorphises. Knowledge will literally turn the Chinese curse to gold. Regards- Steve
