[ih] Better-than-Best Effort

[Jack Haverty]

Perhaps packet switching has outlived its usefulness?   With so much 
bandwidth, and so much computing power, setting up a circuit might now 
be better than moving packets?

It's somewhat akin to the advent of cheap computers killing timesharing 
as PCs became dominant.

Surely that thought will cause a ruckus here!
