Abstract. Consider designing a transportation network on n vertices in the
plane, with traffic demand uniform over all sourcedestination pairs. Suppose the
cost of a link of length and capacity c scales as c for fixed 0 < < 1. Under
appropriate standardization, the cost of the minimum cost Gilbert network grows
