Experts Warn Internet Is Running Out of Bandwidth

[tricia]

This can't be real. I don't believe it. I am not reading it. I am not even here yet, I'm still in bed refusing to deal with reality.

A while back I was Googling for information on a case here and my WS user name came up on a list at another site. Think it was Boardreader? but not sure. It listed WS posters according to number of posts for that week....and I was number 1. lol

Slowed down my posting after that.

That's a bit eery, isn't it? I know that what we post here is not private, but I didn't know it was being sucked up by other boards.

Boardreader is overloaded at the moment and I can't get in, but googling my hat and "Websleuths" shows the site has "summarized" one of my posts, which apparently means "copied it" over there (while giving my hat and WS credit for it, I should point out).

No wonder the internet is filling up!

Experts Warn Internet Is Running Out of Bandwidth


Internet users face regular "brownouts" that will freeze their computers as capacity runs out in cyberspace, according to research to be published later this year.

Experts predict that consumer demand, already growing at 60 percent a year, will start to exceed supply as early as 2010 because of more people working online and the soaring popularity of bandwidth-hungry Web sites such as YouTube and services such as the BBC's iPlayer.
