I've seen the weekly profiles of traffic sourced from caches for the major global services (video, social media, search and general) for a specific metro area.
For all services, the weekly profile is a repetition of the daily profile, within +/- 20%. That is: the weekly profile is obtained from the daily profile within +/- 20% of the average daily profile height.
Given this regularity, as suggested by Louie Lee, then it seems that growth projections are meaningful. That is, the weely profile data, seem to provide a sound empirical basis for link upgrades.
Since I'm not an operator, my comments need to be sprinkled with a pinch of salt :)
Provided your NMS has been stable over any period of time, you can extract historical data over 1 year or more and see how linearly things grew. It's difficult to sometimes see the growth rate when you are close to the daily action. Mark.
