I'm talking about your planet - where you claim COMMUNICATIONS SPEED is increasing 100% every 4 months. I am not sure that is what he said. He said that bandwidth is increasing 100% every 4 months. That may be total bandwidth available throughout the world, not just yours. So, if in your neighborhood, 1/4 of the people had Internet access 4 months ago, and now 1/2 do, that's doubling of the bandwidth, I guess. When you go from dial-up to cable or xDSL, you may be getting 20 to 50 times, or 5000% increase of bandwidth. That's a 16X increase per year - right ? No, it's 8X. Joe
