Assertion Not checkable as stated
Evans: AI infrastructure is built behind demand, unlike dot-com fiber
“The narrow problem with that, of course, is that that was built out ahead of demand, whereas this is being built out behind demand.”

Insight
Evans: Mobile networks are a better analogy for AI than fiber
“So the more interesting comparison or the more relevant comparison is mobile because mobile does have marginal cost. Like if your mobile traffic doubles, you kind of have to go out and build, not exactly double, but kind of double the infrastructure.”
