Bandwidth isn't doubling every six months, unless you constrain the 
comparison to an IMO unrealistic degree.

I had about as much bandwidth yesterday as I had in 1995. The change is 
that yesterday I read mail on the train, which I couldn't do at all in 
1995. Last year I read mail in rural India, albeit with as little 
bandwidth than I had in 1990-2. Amazing progress, but IMO the real 
change is that the network has grown.
