Maybe we have hit the limit of current network management techniques and policies, as well as some deployed technologies. <br /><br />I hate to think that AT&T, Level 3, Sprint, or Verizon may be ever be in a position to establish network policy on a national level. Let's challenge our network operators and equipment vendors to start delivering a network environment that will satisfy the needs of all users - not just those who make the most money for operators.<br /><br />Maybe the next generation of optical technology will allow DWDM to the home, with different filters for different categories of service or products. Maybe we'll be able to marry fiber with wireless and use multiple sources of capacity to drive our applications. <br /><br />Maybe a lot of things, but the bottom line is we cannot address this issue on a basis of considering current technology - we have to address this question on emerging and future technologies.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261896378266502140noreply@blogger.com
