Excerpts from a post on the AFCI board regarding data and voice traffice growth... Gang, SBC Communications had a management rep at the Telcomm Conference. She noted a few facts about SBC. First SBC acquired Pacific Bell in 1997, Southern New England Telcomm in 1998, and now trying to merge with Ameritech (Chicago-Upper Midwest Area), and already owned Southwestern Bell (Texas Area). Now in the US alone customer demand for data-oriented applications will drive an explosion in data traffic. Long distance voice traffic in the US will rise from 1.7 billion gigabits in 1994 to 5.0 billion gigabits in 2005 (It's 2.0 gigabits currently).. However data traffic will explode from 0.3 billion gigabits in 1994 to 13.7 billion gigabits in 2005 (It's 0.6 gigabits currently).. Now backing out the part of the lomg distance market that satellites will capture,that still leaves a lot of room for growth in analog, cable (HFC), wireless markets through 2005.....i.e., more equipment will be needed...
