Well, the funny thing is that when I approached bandwidth buyers at some well known publicly traded carriers, they told me that 40 gig waves across the Atlantic were impossible.
Theoretically impossible, or just "impossible on the fiber that's already underwater"? Big difference there.
Indeed, when we decided to launch LAN PHY 10 GigE, the builder of our cable system told us it wasn't possible.
Again, was this "impossible on a cable the builder was about to build", or "impossible on the cable that the builder put under the water already"?
