I remember when we bought some of our first Intel 10/100 switches...
they were $2,400 each and we bought three of them for our NOC backbone.

I have mixed feelings on it, I think that if you're pushing the
envelope, then you should pay for it. But as the market meets demand,
prices should come down. Remember back when 10/100 switches were
$1000? Now, you can get a 24 Port 1G switch with 10G uplinks for,
what, $400? In another 10 years, 100G will probably be the same.
Pickup a 24 Port 100G switch with 1TB uplinks for $200.
Although at the same time, Throwing more Bandwidth at the problem just
makes for sloppier code. Average webpage loads are now, what 5-6mb,
for really no more content. Things used to be efficient, as it was
the programs responsibility for performance, Now it's the clients
responsibility if things are slow (upgrade your PC, upgrade your
internet)

In 1995 they decided that internet should be free and they'll never
stop believing it.

I cringe when people portray multi gigabit bandwidth as costing
pennies, as if the only cost is the fiber. Yeah, until you have to
route those packets, rather than just transporting a beam of light.

It's not un-common to do 100Gpbs as follows:-
Bonding 10x 10G circuits
Bonding a combination of 40G circuits.
providing 100G switched transport is easy.
Having a router, to do 100G transport is not,
Expect to pay approx $100k for a router (loaded ready to go, on the
2ndary markets)

So... Let's just say, for a minute, that I could sell Adobe a
100Gbps line.
What would that be priced at?
I think I can do it technically with a pair of fiber I can get end
to end.
Are their LD optics at 100Gbps yet?
Or are we still talking dense wave multiplexing?
