As our lives continue to revolve more and more around access to online news and entertainment, most of us are oblivious to the possibility that the Internet may soon run out of, well - Internet. Some analysts predict that our exponentially increasing reliance on, and contributions to, the online world may soon lead to a scenario where 20 typical households will generate as much traffic as the entire Internet as it is today. Jim Cicconi, VP of Legislative Affairs at AT+T, feels that the Net's infrastructure - which is currently being upgraded and maintained by a group of mostly private companies - will need an additional $130 billion in worldwide improvements by the year 2010 to cope with the forecasted bandwidth demands of ever-increasing high-definition video content and user contributions. Cicconi estimates that video will account for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2010 - up from 30% today - and that broadband traffic in general will increase 50-fold by 2015. Many broadband providers - including AT+T - are already upgrading their backbone networks in preparation for the coming onslaught.
