It's funny when you read the trade magazines and hear about a big telecom company buying a fiber-optic network for billions. Then you hear about how new 10GB Ethernet technology will be employed here or there.
Every day there is some hot new bandwidth announcement.
Meanwhile, far too much of the country can't even get a modem connection that goes faster than 28.8 Kbps. When you look at how many people use broadband , you come up with about 3 million people. And most people's connections are probably less than 1 Mbps and shared. Yet everyone is planning for a future where each one of us has 100 Mbps blowing into the home. I've been predicting that the 3G phone may end up being everyone's high-speed Internet connection, but the numbers on the 3G phone are changing by the minute.
