if it comes down to everyone getting their bw prices raised (as well as that potentially causing some business models to go kaput) or some guy or company inventing something that would lower costs, i would always bet on market innovation  |
I agree with you, but I also know that b/w pricing is only going to get lower. The carriers fucked up the whole b/w model by trying to out drop each other. Also, technology had played a major role in lower b/w prices. DWDM alone has allowed for exponential growth in capacity without dropping a ton of new fiber in the ground.
The only thing that is getting more expensive is power and i dont see technology keeping up with the demand, so its difficult to see that part of the equation getting cheaper..
