Bandwidth is the amount of
data that can be transferred through a connection in a given time period. Bandwidth is normally based on the
frequencies used and the spectral spread of the information caried on the frequency.
See: Shannon's law, [signalling schemes]?
I'm a newbie to Wikipedia, but I'm gonna throw my opinion out there.
Should this article really exist? If it did, it would be more like a dictionary entry than an encyclopedia article. Is that appropriate?
Also, the original meaning of bandwidth has more to do with frequencies than with data communication (though the concept of data bandwidth is derived immediately from that). So, if we decide that this article should exist, it will need some subtopics.

I don't see why this article shouldn't exist. Granted, in current form it's merely a dictionary article. With research it could easily become a well informed historical piece describing the implications bandwidth had on how programs were made (in the computer data transfer sense, at least), etc. --
