But, that backbone is not the bottleneck. The bottleneck is getting that bandwidth to residential and small business customers. |

BINGO! all this talk about how expensive bandwidth is yet you always hear about the 'bandwidth glut'. if theres a glut of something isnt it usually dirt cheap? -- You can never be too rich, too thin or have too much Bandwidth |
