I'm still surprised at the size of the "next-gen"

AT&T keeps touting U-verse as the next great thing. I'm surprised that the boxes to install it and keep it going are still so big. It seems that almost all electronics keep getting smaller and smaller except for things like these VRAD boxes that people keep complaining about.

Can someone with the knowledge explain to an idiot like me why they are still so big and haven't shrunk to say about half the size of the previous ones instead?

A popular standard sized DSLAM once had 48 subs on it. The modern "VRAD" DSLAM houses 4 times that with much greater speeds. They take up a fraction of the cabinet though.

...not to mention alot of other muxes, SLC's and equipment can be in a 'box', not just Uverse & DSLAM equipment.
