Cornered! is a blog devoted, most of the time anyway, to telecommunications: local and global issues, technology, people and trends from the perspective of someone who's been reporting, analysing and commenting on the industry since the dark ages (BC - before competition). Sometimes serious, sometimes flippant, sometimes frivolous. Controversial, analytical, informative, amusing, but never boring; a vehicle for examinations of important issues and observations on my encounters and experiences in an industry where polarised views and hyperbole are the norm.

Cisco might now be well on the way to recouping the $US500m in R&D costs it claims to have put into the CRS-1, but clearly the buyers of those 1800 units, and that includes Telstra, will need new ways of monetising these massive traffic volumes to recoup the investments they have to make in delivering them. Either that of the cost of gear such as the CRS-1 in terms of dollars per Tbps of throughput will have to keep falling fairly rapidly. |
