At some point, the Internet will need a major overhaul. For what I

adding ever-fatter pipes and ever-larger buffers, at the expense
(as the OP pointed out) of degrading key performance metrics like
latency.
Hey, you should check out this startup in Kendall. They're called
Akamai, they're 13 years old and have ~$1B in yearly revenue, and
they deliver like 30+% of internet traffic without fattening pipes or
degrading latency.
My 2ยข. YMMV.
It does!
Gordon doesn't speak much on the list but when he does it usually makes
me chuckle.
