Our first wireless access point was using an NCR WaveLan ISA card
(900mhz) in Compaq slimline PC's with a DOS based routing program that
booted off a floppy disk. The cards were $400 each, plus the LMR cable,
connectors, antenna, adapter cable, etc.

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.

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?
