<<sector, i am truly disappointed with your answer. no set time frame.>>
Blank, what do you want, an exact timetable? Not from me. I did say these cycles would lag a year or so, IMO, so:
1998 - year of beginning of major Internet core upgrades
1999 - year GE booms
2000-2001 year of next major desktop upgrade cycle?
<<Before Corporations will really open their pocketbooks for more powerful and capable PCs, they have to upgrade their networks significantly. -
outside of engineers and developers, how many corporate workers need more bandwidth? the vast majority use the pc for mundane tasks. i believe we will be waiting for the nt/95 merge until the next mass waves high end pc buying/replacement. at the earliest, year 2001. >>
Blank, I did say it would take things like Video conferencing, Multimedia E-Mail, E-Commerce, FAX, etc. before the next major enmasse upgrade - did you miss this?
<<i still have not seen anyone upgrading desktops to fiber or fast ethernet, the mode still seems switching and the servers and printers receiving the fast connections.>>
I have, but not a lot, yet. - but we are in agreement here?
<<We see this core infrastructure upgrades beginning to occur now. - si in what way do you see this beginning?>>
Blank, you have to be seeing the Williams move, the AT&T upgrades, the big market for ASND's CBX550 OC-48 switch? You don't think this is beginning? I do. I don't know what else to say. |
