Hi Jim. Thanks for posting this story. Very interesting indeed. In a parallel manner, the notion of someday witnessing an ebbing in the overall growth of Internet bandwidth consumption by residential users, and then followed by a gradual decline (again, referring to "relative growth" here), has been with me for a while now, owing in part to improvements in content distribution (CDN) technologies and an increases in multicasting and local caching by service providers. These factors may have the effect of mitigating Internet backbone and second-mile traffic burdens to some degree, but why, exactly, the decline in power consumption cited in the reference article should be taking effect at this time I suspect is due to an entirely different dynamic completely. Your thoughts? Anyone? Some interesting opinions from readers of the WSJ appear here: tinyurl.com FAC ------
