By 2010, the average household will be using 1.1 terabytes (roughly equal to 1,000 copies of the Encyclopedia Britannica) of bandwidth a month, according to an estimate by the Internet Innovation Alliance in Washington, D.C. At that level, it says, 20 homes would generate more traffic than the entire Internet did in 1995.
Hmmm. Who exactly is "The Internet Innovation Alliance"? Unfortunately, their website does not say: http://www.internetinnovation.org/ But given the content there (generous references to the upcoming Internet "exaflood" apocalypse), I would guess they are either compromised of telcos and ISPs or telco lobbyists or both. :-) It would be interesting to know (the rest of the story...) - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.6.3 (Build 3017) wj8DBQFIDNIQq1pz9mNUZTMRAq6fAKCCgypsomFy7NmMbLwOjBZMZ1b9fwCfUFuc kT6BoIXhTsN0ulOvFrWlXNg= =u65U -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.

The domain is registered to Larry Irving in D.C., who was an assistant commerce secretary in the Clinton administration. A little googlage finds this op-ed piece from last May. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/23/AR2007052301... The most interesting part is the author bios at the end: Bruce Mehlman was assistant secretary of commerce under President Bush. Larry Irving was assistant secretary of commerce under President Bill Clinton. They are co-chairmen of the Internet Innovation Alliance, a coalition of individuals, businesses and nonprofit groups that includes telecommunications companies.

Thank goodness anti-virus companies never hype security threats or fund "Internet safety" organizations :-)

Everyone agrees having more data would be useful. It would be great if someone could collect the available data, and get more data from multiple providers (universities, small, large, for-profit, non-profit, etc), and publish something. _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
