Internet getting over loaded

[FinsnFur]

A study confirming long time concerns of the Internet Innovation Alliance indicates that consumer and corporate use of the Internet could overload the current capacity and lead to brown-outs unless backbone providers invest billions of dollars in new infrastructure.

A flood of new video and other Web content could overwhelm the Internet by 2010 unless backbone providers invest up to US$137 billion in new capacity. In North America alone, backbone investments of $42 billion to $55 billion will be needed. More than double what service providers plan to invest.

Internet users will create 161 exabytes of new data this year alone. To give you an idea of how big of a flood of new Internet content that is;
An exabyte is about 1.1 billion gigabytes.
1 exabyte is also equivalent to,... not 1 hour of DVD video, not 2 hours of DVD video, but 50,000 years of DVD video. :shck:

So times that by 161
   161
x
   50,000
80,50000 years of DVD video

The new web content created this year alone will be equivalent to 80,50000 years of DVD video.

Holy Crap that's a lotta bandwidth

With that many DVDs out there it would seem like the price of DVDs would come down.     :shck:
