I remember the days when I bought a new 386 PC with a 40M hard drive and I thought how much more could I need. Now 40G hard drives are a standard and the need for more storage continues to grow. The same applies to bandwidth. Any technology that improves the efficiency of information exchange will only hasten the need for bandwidth. When I had a 56K modem few years ago my bandwidth demand was so little as I was limited by the 56K connection. Now I have gotten used to 3M connections and you wont believe how much bandwidth I am gobbling up. The bulk of the internet access today is till 56K. When the majority migrates to broadband (Cable, DSL, Wireless, Fiber) the demand for bandwidth will shoot thru the sky. You aint seen nothing yet as far as bandwidth is concerned. By the next decade even third world countries will have their folks on broadband. We are only in the 2nd inning of the ballgame.
