No doubt this is true. And I note we haven't even started discussing whether this "doubling every N time periods" refers to bit-rate, bytes passed or daily max. I would have said that most networks during that period had occasional burst growth rates of up to 100% within 100 days. The growth curve second derivative is usually much bumpier than the first derivative. So, regardless of source, the quotation is a truism, an urban myth and ultimately means very little. Nick
