Moore's Law gets applied to lots of techie things. It used to be applied to modem technology as well. It's actually held up over the years even as we've gone broadband.

We went from 300 bps in the late 70's up to 56K, or even 230K if you wanna include compression by the late 90's.

We've continued to progress with broadband. Most of us were happy to get cable or DSL with 1.5 MB, then we got a bump to 3MB from many providers a couple of years ago. And now Comcast and others are bumping to 4MB this year.

Ubiquitous 11MB wireless everywhere stands a good chance of being reality by the end of the decade.
