Demand for increased bandwidth is showing no signs of slowing down. Bandwidth intensive applications using video continue to gain consumer adoption. A recent article in the Financial Times suggests that Apple (AAPL) will soon begin renting movies online. Although Apple already sells movies online, the addition of low cost movie rental downloads could have a major effect on the movie rental industry. If downloadable movie rentals from Apple take off like Itunes did, bandwidth usage and demand will skyrocket.

In addition to movie downloads, video applications such as Internet TV should also create a surge in bandwidth demand. The research firm iSuppli recently released a report predicting Internet TV revenues to grow 14 fold by 2011. The report went on to say that bandwidth required for Internet TV will grow by more than 44 times to about seven Tebibytes (TiBs) by 2011.

It seems clear that demand for increased bandwidth will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.
