- baddox 13y agoThat wasn't necessarily an underestimation of how fast technological progress can happen. It was more of an economic misestimation.
- 001sky 13y agoI don't think so, just look at the mobile sector. As of 1999, 3G was supposed forecast go live in 2001. But iPhone whent live in 2007 with 2.5G ! Also, in the US 3G sucked and you needed 3.5g to really get usable performance (ie, data) in the field.
