YouTube could kill internet by 2010

[Third Eye]

A study from Nemertes Research Group suggests the increasing use of video services such as YouTube could see the internet reach breaking point in just three years’ time. The research firm says the flood of new video content could overwhelm the web by 2010 unless backbone providers invest up to $137bn in new capacity, more than double what service providers plan to invest, according to the study. In North America alone, backbone investments of $42bn to $55bn will be needed in the next three to five years to keep up with demand, Nemertes said.

The study is the first to "apply Moore’s Law (or something very like it) to the pace of application innovation on the Net,” the study says. “Our findings indicate that although core fibre and switching/routing resources will scale nicely to support virtually any conceivable user demand, Internet access infrastructure, specifically in North America, will likely cease to be adequate for supporting demand within the next three to five years."

Think of india..no one will bother us...
Get ready to get busy tones(just like our congested cell phone service) in broadband also..
No major players in india will take care of the backbone here.
I think we will be very soon facing crysis like long load page time,frequent sever error, downtimes...everything.
GET READY INDIA..IF THIS NEWS IS TRUE.

i really wonder WHERE DO THEY STORE ALL THESE DATA

[phreak0ut]

BSNL's 'broadband' will surely go for a toss!! Think of the IPTV service they are providing.

Its not about storage guys.read it clearly...its about the backbone.
Servers...storage....are never a problem..put in some thousand...yöü will tb of space.
Its the network structure.
But read in recent post that someone have devised a system to deliver data's more with the same technology..hope that kicks in and save the net..
There are lots of new things to come when we switch over to ip6..lets wait and see.but i see india's broadband future getting buried day by day..
Do yöü think Airtel or bsnl will take care of quality of service for us.

Waiting to see flaming threads about the network and their service here in this forum in some years
