Tubes

Before we rail on Ted Stevens any more for his famous line “The internet is a series of tubes,” let’s look at it from a different perspective.

When you boil it down, isn’t the internet really a series of tubes?

Ethernet cables. They’re tiny tubes at that, but…tubes.

But I do have to admit that his perception of bandwidth…
(“…an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday [Tuesday]. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially.”)
is a little kooky. Where can I find one of these Internets?
