The interesting segment is the incremental increase in bandwidth for the 
next 6 years to 51 terrabits especially how its targeting specific

cant we do this on land

Next bit is an article on Internet congestion, I posted this simply 
because its one of the most logical articles without technogobbledegook 
and buried in it is one of the clearest illustrations of  issues with 
TCP protocol and innovative ways around the problems and also sadly how 
they could be misused.
