It amazes me how many people take bandwidth for granted.

We are getting new mammography equipment that generates datasets that are in the low gigabyte range (up from hundred megabyte range) and you’d have thought I was speaking Greek when I said we need to budget for new cabling and network infrastructure.

When I started, the other end of the Ethernet cable at my workstation broke out into a telephone punch down block and mostly ran at 100 mb/s. Hospital IT is a generation behind.
