GILDER'S LAW: BANDWIDTH IS DOUBLING EVERY FOUR MONTHS
(Bull market reoprt)
Gilder's Law says that bandwidth will rise at a rate three times the rate at which processing power is increasing, or three time the rate of Moore's Law. In other words, with processing power doubling every 18 months, bandwidth will double every six months. At the moment processing power is
doubling every year and bandwidth every four months.

COMMENT: From our old friend George Gilder at gildertech.com. So far, Moore's Law has held up for twenty years and Gilder's has held up for three. Will it hold up for another year? Two? Five? Ten?
