at the scloss dagstuhl seminar (on programmable network data planes) we have had a couple of key speeches, one from nick mckeown (kind of on why we are where we are with P4 and switches that implement it) and one from dave tennenhouse on the big picture of where we are in programmable networks as a result of 4 decades of software (internet, atm, active nets and so on).
What I find increasingly weird is that the desperate need for speed is driven more and more by machine-to-machine communication (including the inevitable analytics/ML/AI) or just software updates or media pushing to caches.
but the net doesn't have to be fast for humans - humans could be supported by around 2 Mbps per person 24*7 for 10 billion people, that is no big deal. but humans are dsitributed for many good reasons (food, land/water contstraints) and moving humans is expensive (and not sustainable)
but it is possible to put the machines in the right place (near the data) instead of moving all the data to the machines.
so we not only need re-dencentralization for latency, energy, privacy, we also need to get all the machine data out of the way so humans can go back to talking to each other instead of being talked to by adertisement/recommender bots who steal all our data and use it to sell us stuff we don't want so
humans are replacing the old adage (you can trade time for money, or money for time) to paying bots in both time and money.
