Shannon's Law doesn't actually say anything about the medium. That is we can find more bandwith OTA. I'm sure 30 years ago not many would have guessed you could do 100Mbps OTA (even knowing Shannon's Law), yet with LTE we can.
With better engineering (multiple frequencies, compensations, etc...) I have little doubt that we can achieve bandwidths that are still technologically out of our reach today.
With that said, when it does end, I'll probably be just as optimistic not knowing we hit the wall.
- chopsueyar 16y agoIt's not just the speed, it is how many simultaneous connections at the speed that is important. Also, 30 years ago, a MicroVAX was running at 5MHz, so anyone optimistic enough to assume we would break the 10MHz CPU barrier, could also assume we would break the 300bps communication barrier.
