<<Mary Meeker is assuming that the major carriers will be expanding the Internet backbone fast enough to relieve the existing bottlenecks, support the doubling of Internet every 3 months, as well as, provide more than enough bandwidth to support all of the new full-motion video applications that are appearing every day?

Steven,

Can you imagine what will have to happen to the backbone of the Internet when everyone at home has a cable modem or x.DSL.

A few months back INTC,CPQ,MSFT RBOC's (and a few others including AWRE) said x.DSL by Christmas 98.

What a bottleneck. Things may get slower before they get faster.

These next two to three years will be like railroads last 1800's. It's a new frontier.
