My basic thought on the matter is the more there is the better. Nature hates a vacume and the traffic will be their to suck up any slack.

In 1986 with the old 286 people thought wow an 80Meg Harddrive and a Meg of Ram, how can I ever use it all. Today PII, 8Meg Harddrive with 64Meg of Ram is standard and once speech and voice recognition software and the rest come into the main we will need even more.

If Qwest and the others build it, They will come.

IMHO

<< Did QWST sell too much? >>

don't think so. i haven't seen public numbers but my guess is that the network FRO purchased from QWST is about 12 fibers. since the total fiber capacity of the QWST conduits is around 1,000 fibers, QWST didn't sell the farm by any stretch.
