This is a dreadful article. The graph (which is used to underline the premise of the piece) is mislabled. The lines are the wrong way round. How do I know. I shall tell you.
WDM capacity world wide is rising as per the white line.
Cost per mbs-1 is falling as per the orange line.
These are facts. Labelled properly the graph is correct.
It is simply stupid to think that WDM capacity is falling, and the author needs to be - well, I will not be silly and intemperate!
- josh2600 14y agoI looked at that graph like four times before I could even start to understand how somebody could make that mistake... The whole premise of the article is expanding capacity and falling costs and he describes the graph as exemplifying this and then when I look at it I feel foolish. Glad to see I'm not the only one who noticed that. The debate has never been about aggregate capacity (not since the 1900's), but rather about last-mile access, and will continue to be until last-mile access is liberated; which may never happen.
