[Poor Article] Internet Pioneer Says Growth Explosive

Mark -

No reflection on you, but this I believe is the worst article I've seen since I began studying the Networking World.
Is it the author or the source?

>> Traffic on MCI's backbone Internet network grew at about 15 percent per month in 1996, Cerf said. >>>

***15% of what?***

>>Cerf predicted that by the middle of the year 2000, the capacity needs for Internet data traffic on the telephone networks will surpass voice use, placing huge demands for expansion of the system, especially in the switches that route transmissions. <<

***** He pretty much narrowed it down to June/July 2000. I read an article today that said Data had already surpassed Voice traffic****

>> There were about 16 million computers connected to the Internet in January, he said. He said rough estimates last year placed the number of Internet users at about 35 million.<<<

****In a recent Cisco article posted here, Innerquest(sp) stated 21 million users will Logon the Internet this year. That equals 60,000 a day! 5.4 Million per Quarter.***

Who really knows?

Those are just few. The article is very poorly written.
