MB, re: "...just because bandwidth uses will grow does not mean that its vendors will show growth on their bottom line."
I assume those building the infrastructure aren't giving it away. Bandwidth ain't free for the users. Seem's to me the more bandwidth the more revenue. And once the plant is in place is should be a real cash generator. Considering the billions required to build the infrastructure, it ain't like starting a dot.com business. <g>

MB. Think of the economics of an order of magnitude increase in T1 connections. For the net to realize it's potential it's that type of bandwidth growth that will be required. I think those building the infrastructure have it figured out. And CB does too. <g> Looks to me like a real cash cow.
