I agree totally. All this discussion about 10 G is just the foundation for fork-lifting the entire network. Is it better? Is it faster? Is it necessary? No!

Most IT weenies and CIO way, way over-buy. Bandwidth is cheap so why bother optimizing what's on their network? They keeping buying T-1s and upgrading their fabrics with bigger pipes. Meanwhile, they've got 50% overhead on their networks that is totally, completely and unequivocally useless non-business-related crap. But lest they show their ignorance and risk having their staff and budgets cut, they'll continue to play dumb and promote "I NEED BIGGER PIPES!" What a bunch of sissies.
