<<With moores law this can only get much much faster and hopefullly will open many more opportunities........>> Yes indeed. Gilder adds in the law of the Microcosm. Most people have a hard time visualizing that, but whole new uses for bandwidth will open up too. But think back at the evolution of the PC. 1975 - MITS Altair - front panel switches, Cassette tape I/O 9" B/W monitor, 16K 1981 - Original IBM PC - 5MB Hard Drive Basic and DOS, Primitive Games 1989 - 486 - Windows 3.1, Office suites, Graphical Games 1995? Pentium - Win '95, CD-ROM, Interactive games, AOL, 28.8 Modems 1999 - Pentium III Win '98, Internet, 3D Games, DVD movies, Cable, xDSL How much of what you use your PC for today was possible or available only 10 years ago? The same type of thing will happen with networking in the next 10 years. I don't know what it will all become, but I do know it will require high bandwidth optical networks, high speed routers, etc.
