His thought being that nobody has really added capacity in a long time and with the current economic times, nobody is planning on it. All the infrastructure dollars are going to wireless.
New technology everyday, to cram more into each wave, more waves into each strand of fiber. I read that article you are referring too and that exec is an idiot. We went from SONNET services to better cwdm/dwdm metro services and have cranked up capacity in ridiculous amounts in the past 10 years.
