Internet Overload Predicted on Year 2010
"Doom-filled warnings arrive from AT&T this week. The company says that without substantial investment in network infrastructure, the Internet will essentially run out of bandwidth in just two short years.
Blame broadband, says AT&T. Decades of dealing with the trickle of bandwidth consumed by voice and dialup modems left AT&T twiddling its thumbs. The massive rise of DSL and cable modem service in the 2000s has had AT&T facing a monstrous increase in the volume of data transmissions. And that’s set to increase another 50 times between now and 2015. That’s enough, says AT&T, to all but crash the system."

With our present world problem of Global Warming, the Internet also has its own share of problems. The AT&T Company which is the sole responsible for the Web infrastructure has predicted that on year 2010, the internet will be running on its full capacity and all of its bandwidth will be fully used. This is synonymous to our problem with Global Warning wherein we ate up much of the resources that our planet has thus depletion occurs. In my understanding, this problem arisen because of the growing trend of video uploading and streaming websites which eats up a lot of bandwidth and virtual space. Also, excessive websites are also contributors to this problem as they take up space. As a solution to this problem, companies should spend money on upgrading the infrastructure of the internet. They should also form an organization which will effectively handle and monitor every website hosted on the net. Let’s just hope that AT&T will be able to solve this virtual crisis or we won’t be having the Internet anymore for the next couple of years.
