...noticed Ethernet kept getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper, so we said we'd better take advantage of that," says Alcatel chief technology officer Niel Ransom. Indeed, Alcatel's innovation is part of an ever-widening appreciation of what Ethernet technology can accomplish. "Ethernet continues to expand - in distance, bandwidth capacity and the ability to run voice and video - in ways people never anticipated five years ago," says John Chambers, Ceo of router maker Cisco Systems. DSLAMs themselves have plunged from over $300 for each end-user connection to under $100, according to Ransom. Alcatel hopes to ship enough DSLAMs...

...That?s a lot of, I don?t know, verbiage, or verbal spillage - more than Stephen King could write in a whole month. Immediately I have to thank my Time.commissars for their indulgence, not to mention the wondrous application of giga-bandwidth, or whatever it is that allows all the TOF columns, and other, much more valuable material, to be found on this site long after it was published. I may be a cultural fogie, but I embrace the new technology...
