[NNagain] The non-death of DSL

[Dave Taht]

I had found henning shulzerine's projections as to the death of POTs
very compelling when he presented at ietf 86 back in 2013. I cannot
find the video, but there are all sorts of great charts and data here
worth reflecting about and updating.

Unfortunately he presently has a gig with the NTIA and probably cannot
participate here in the current contexts (although I like to think all
that we will end up discussing will impact multiple agencies, NIST,
and FEMA, for example)

Still looking for better DSL data....
