That's the bit I have trouble getting my head around. Back in the 1970s and
1980s digital transmissions used a much greater bandwidth than their
analogue equivalents. Sampling at 2.2 x max frequency x number of bits plus
housekeeping bits etc. etc.


One word: compression.

If we all took the same attitude as the OP we'd still be using Strowger
exchanges for the phone system. Thankfully, some people understand the
need for progress and aren't stuck in the past.

Times have changed and left me behind, but I've still got me beer so who
cares?


Good man
