The Internet has become its own enemy.
The time I realized it gives people more mental than practical hope in
the possibility of anything is when a pre-sales engineer once asked me
if we could deliver a circuit to a customer without using a CPE, because
that would increase their acquisition costs. RFC's 1149, 2549 and 6214
came to memory. This was 2012.
The Internet has become so ubiquitous and inspired significant (almost
unreasonable) possibilities that it is just about preposterous to
convince those that need to sign invoices that "Ummh, you get what you
pay for is as relevant in 2020 as it was in 1980".
Then again, you can buy an SDN or an SD-WAN or an IoT, to back up your
Big Data over the 5G connection you gathered it, and all will be well.
Mark.
