Duh moment

Duh moment: If Moore's law the exponential growth of point-to-point bandwidth holds, network bandwidth to the home will only go up linearly, because networks have N^2 connections.
Long conversation on Twitter with @Medley and @Sungo about Moore's Law really being about transistor density, not all of the other things that follow roughly the same growth path but aren't transistors in processors has led me to revise that a little bit.
Long conversation on Twitter has suggested that I should have tried harder to make a point about exponential capabilities rather than using Moore's Law, which is really just about transistor density. But where we've seen point-to-point links, processor speed, storage densities, all run roughly 10k order of magnitude increases over the past 2 decades, bandwidth to the home is running in the 100-1000 scale.
I was trying to fit it in 140 characters, and still don't like the phrasing just right, but...
