Mark Wolff discusses the implications of increasing data on networks, highlighting the evolving technologies like dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) to enhance capacity. He addresses challenges such as signal loss and the need for optical amplifiers for long-distance transmission. The document presents technical insights into achieving efficient data transmission while facing the limits set by Claude Shannon.
