The Bit Myth

Lets do some math...

Announced in 2006, we can push 14 terabits a second through a fiber optic cable.  That is the equivalent of 50 billion people downloading at 60 megabits a second all at the same time! [http://bit.ly/fIY5Wn]

Announced in March this year, we can push 69 terabits a second through a fiber optic cable.  That is the equivalent of 250 billion people downloading at 59 megabits a second all at the same time! [http://bit.ly/gQtoOA]

Still think those bandwidth caps are for our benefit or just price gouging?
