"We first encountered this on a list connecting Jerry Michalski, Esther
Dyson and about 50 close pals. Looking for it recently at David
Isenberg's site, we were surprised to find that the pointer to it was

that expensive, scarce infrastructure can be shared to offer
premium priced services,
that talk - the human voice - generates most of the traffic,
that circuit-switched calls are the "communications technologies"
that matter, and
that the telephone company is in control of its network.
Telephone companies still behave as if these assumptions hold despite:
up to several thousand-fold declines in key infrastructure costs
over the last two decades,
a 20 year double-digit annual growth rate in the volume of data
traffic, so that the volume of data traffic is now overtaking the
(also growing, but more slowly) volume of voice traffic,
the many different data types that now travel over the telephone
network (despite the fact that the network is not optimized for
