Yup, Internet "doom and gloom" was a favorite subject for Bob
Metcalfe a couple of years back. (Metcalfe was an original ethernet
developer and a founder of 3Com). He predicted its death on many
many occasions. It survived and prospered-and so did the companies
that helped it grow with innovative technology. Those innovations
continue, DWDM as one example for this particular thread.

Internet growth is extrordinary and there are many drivers--Its
collapse is not immenent but folks like Vint Cerf think that even
all the new photonic stuff, like DWDM, won't be sufficient.
