Cringley explains XML to the PBS crowd

Need to get more life in your Cisco stock? Start deploying your SOAP, .NET, SunONE, and Semantic Web gizmos. Robert X. Cringley says:

If there is one company that will benefit no matter what, it is Cisco Systems, because one characteristic of XML is data expansion. Putting data in XML format and including the metadata description inevitably makes data bigger because we are shipping over the line not just the raw data, but also a description of the data. Bigger data slows down the Internet. A slower Internet makes network service providers build bigger network connections.
