I remember when I bought my first floppy disk. Only bought one because I
could not imagine filling it up.

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?
