Internet capacity major theme for 1999
- study

By Frances Hong

NEW YORK, Dec 6 (Reuters) - With traffic over the Internet
doubling every 100 days, the major theme for the computer, telephone and cable industries next year
will be the need to boost speed and capacity for information highway cruisers, a technology survey said.

The PricewaterhouseCoopers' ''Technology Forecast: 1999,'' due to be released Monday, sees demand
for bandwidth, or the communications capacity to quickly and efficiently handle voice, data and video,
as the big technology issue for 1999.

Comparing the movement of data on the Internet to traffic jams on Los Angeles freeways, technology
experts say the biggest challenge for the industry going into 1999 will be squeezing more traffic through
existing access lanes.
