if you start a company that produces small quantitys of multi-level
circuit boards (and are able to test them, becouse board design at these
speeds is affected by exactly what materials you are using, etc) you will
get a lot of orders, the question will be will those orders cover your
costs. Board design at these speeds is half digital logic design and half
RF analog design and becouse of the RF portion your quality control needs
to be extreamly good to get the same results from multiple batches.
