hi, a friend of mine is laboring under the delusion that the internet (the backbone services such a UUnet) are suffering from a "too much supply, not enough demand" problem right now, and that this is what is hurting Telecom stocks. i can't seem to convince him that nothing could be further from the truth, that in fact there is SO much DEMAND, that prices are at an all time high, and the reason telecom stocks are shitty is because of congestion on the networks. i even reminded him that IPv6 was being considered BECAUSE of a congestion problem. if anyone who has some industry clout could respond with just a mere statement of the fact that'd be great... the idea that there ISN'T congestion, and that there is TOO much bandwidth and not enough demand is simply the silliest thing i've heard all day... -R Grant McDonald, PhD. -CEO, President -Infinite Idea Mechanics Corp __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
