I would have attributed the success of Ethernet to price!


You've got the causality wrong -- it wasn't cheap, way back when.

I remember back in '93~94ish (I think) you could get a off brand 10BT
card for less than $100, as oppose to Token Ring which was $300~400.
I can't remember anything else that was cheaper back then.  If you go
back before that, I don't know.
