| | FORBES ASAP: George Gilder, Angst and Awe on the Internet |
 | | With Jacobson's help, Freedman is ending 1995 with a fiber circuit connecting him to MAE East at 45 megabits a second, a 10-megabit-per-second link to Sprint's network-access point, and more than half a dozen point-to-point T-1 lines, all for well under half of the normally tariffed prices for these services. |
 | | If Freedman had originally hired people to perform the work that he did himself part-time -- "keeping the machines running, maintaining software, recovering from disasters, installing and tuning equipment and circuits" -- he would have incurred expenses of some $100,000 per year and his financial model would have collapsed. |
 | | Freedman insists on the Law of the Microcosm in choosing all his equipment and in making all his projects for expansion. |
