  • VOD and long haul are completely un-related.
  • VOD will drive growth at abut 4x to 5x, not 10x
  • The HSSG of IEEE will develop a 100G basebad standard (if we are lucky and the 40G crowd doesn’t sell the farm to save the roostr). That doesn’t make for a 100G long haul standard.
  • Yes we need a long haul standard as well.

    • So what is the big obstacle. It’s actually Sun Microsystems and the like who say that 100G is not needed (because they do not want to take the R&D expense). OK we get it — servers do not need 100G. It’s also true that hard drives do not need to be 100G, but we clearly need 10G in the network today.
