Extensions to fiber optics will supply network capacity that borders on the
infinite

Some interesting numbers. You can find this information elsewhere (e.g. at
www.lightreading.com or Forbes ASAP's bandwidth issue last year) but this
is a good, current summary. Compare how much bandwidth will be need for VR
to 3D holography and other uses...

Onward!
