Well put, Dan.

Having fiber to every home and claiming that you have 'infinite bandwidth' is 
like looking at my basement circuit breaker panel, noting that I have 40 
circuits, each with a 20 amp breaker, and concluding that I have 'infinite 
amperage' available, or at least 800 amps available.  I fail to notice the 100 
amp breaker that feeds the entire panel until I try to use all 20 amps from all 
40 circuits, and the main breaker trips.

  In reality, it might seem like infinite to us now, but in reality, it is a 
bit of an absurd statement.  The bandwidth is not infinite, or even near 
infinite, even if you could get 4, 64 or more symbols per cycle with DWDM of 
multiple frequencies.
