Re: Past a point, Bandwidth is academic

Salestard suggested, "Past a point, bandwidth is academic."

But the value of that "point" is a function of time (year on year).

1 Mbps would have been the end of the world in 1990.

10 Mbps would have been the end of the world in 2000.

100 Mbps would have been the end of the world in 2010.

1 Gbps would probably still be quite satisfactory in 2020.

Appears to be x10 in just a bit less than 10 years.
