the market is telling us that the internet is the....or one of the most CERTAIN growth drivers for many, many years....good economic times, or bad

Nobody knows the effect of a slowing economy on corporate or private demand on internet infrastructure. Never been there.

The question that will be resolved is - "Is the growth of internet infrastructure related to consumer and corporate demand?" Or, better stated, "Is the internet insulated from slowing in the general economy?" Here's a hint - the end of a slowdown can not be forecasted.

No need to invoke the idea that the internet will continue to grow during and after any temporary slowdown. That is obvious. But this sector is still priced for perfection, and any downward revision of growth, even by 3-5%, will injure equity values more.

BTW, the best way to make money in the market is to recognize when the market is wrong. Everything else is imitation.
