The only thing that is getting more expensive is power and i dont see technology keeping up with the demand, so its difficult to see that part of the equation getting cheaper..
We were quoted by cienna networks 30-40k per 10G/wave for our DWDM equipment if we went with that vender. Until cisco and friends decide to take less profits network gear isn't going to drop. Cisco is already sitting on ~30billion in cash.. Overpriced don't we think?
