Side thinking: it amazes me, at the speed these technologies evolved, 
the many protocol changes from 1990 to 2010 that needed many equipment 
changes at the exchanges, if they were getting revenue, profits.

At year 2000, we were here installing V90 hardware. A few years later, 
we were deploying ADSL. And next, removing it all and installing fibre 
instead.

I have 1 Gbit up/dn... not so long ago, 56K seemed amazing.

Right.
