This will create a tsunami of data traffic that could swamp today's cable and partway-to-the-property fiber networks. Imagine, writes van der Berg, if just 2.5% of households were playing Google Stadia at the same time of the evening. For an operator with 4 million customers, that would be 100,000 streams in parallel, equating to about 2.5Tbit/s (yes, that's terabits per second) in network capacity demand, according to his calculations. "No matter how you look at it, it will require some upgrades of core switches and private network interconnects between Google and telcos," he says. And you can forget about using 5G (perhaps this is a killer app for 6G technology?).
