the Internet this week, releasing a study projecting that demand for bandwidth on the Web would
exceed its capacity by 2012./pp align="right"a

width="336" height="280" border="0" alt="" align="right"//a/pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"The
study, which is a follow-up to a target="_blank"
href="http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/2007/111907johnson.html"similar research/a Nemertes
conducted last year, projects that the current global economic recession will only delay rather
than eliminate the increased demand for bandwidth the firm predicted last year. Then, Nemertes
projected that traffic growth would eclipse supply by 2010, but the firm now says it has adjusted
its projections to reflect deteriorating global economic conditions./pp page="1"
class="ArticleBody"b[ Does the#160;a

mean out Internet future is in danger/a? ]/b/pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"Nemertes emphasized it
is not projecting that the Internet will crash or shut down altogether. Rather, the typical user
probably will experience Internet quot;brownouts,quot; where such high-bandwidth applications as
high-definition video-streaming and peer-to-peer file-sharing will stop performing up to users#39;
expectations, the firm says.#160;/pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"During a presentation at an
Internet Innovation Alliance symposium this week, Nemertes analyst Mike Jude a target="_blank"
href="http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/111908-alliance-national-broadband.html"said/a that one
consequence of declining Web performance would be that users would look less to the Internet to
deliver their desired applications. quot;More and more applications are coming online that will
drive expectations for service quality even higher,quot; he said. quot;I#39;m not saying that the
Internet is going to crash in 2011, but that people#39;s expectations are going to be throttled.
People will stop going to the Internet for those services.quot;/pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"One
big reason for the projected growth in traffic is the continuing emergence of virtual workers who
work from home or in remote branch offices located far away from companies#39; central offices,
Nemertes says. In particular, these remote workers quot;expect seamless communications, regardless
of where they conduct businessquot; and they quot;often require more advanced communication and
collaboration tools than those who work at headquarters,quot; including videoconferencing and Web
conferencing, the report says./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"Another factor is simply the large
growth in high-bandwidth applications for users to employ. More ISPs in the coming years will
follow the lead of such companies as a target="_blank"

and a target="_blank"

out bandwidth caps that will charge extra money each month for heavy bandwidth consumers, Nemertes
says. Although#160;a
href="http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/08/29/Comcast_sets_monthly_bandwidth_limit_for_customers_1.html"Comcast
now caps individual bandwidth consumption at a relatively high 250GB per month/a, average future
users will easily reach or surpass that bandwidth limit as they find higher-bandwidth applications
to use, the firm says./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"quot;Though this traffic load is [currently]
more than typical, it certainly isn#39;t exceptional,quot; Nemertes reports. quot;This type of
usage will become typical over the next three to five years. The fact that Comcast#39;s network is,
by its own admission, not able to cope with such usage patterns is a clear indication that the
crunch we predicted last year is beginning to occur.quot;/pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"Looking
forward, Nemertes says that if this capacity issue is not addressed, the Internet will fracture
into a tiered system where companies with the most money will pay for specialized network
infrastructure that will ensure their content is delivered at higher speeds than non-favored
content./pp page="2" class="ArticleBody"This fractured system -- where certain entities can pay
extra money to give their content favored treatment -- is what advocates of a target="_blank"
href="http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/092208-politicians-push-for-net-neutrality.html"network
neutrality/a have been working to avoid by preventing ISPs from discriminating against certain
types of content. The Nemertes report gloomily concludes that although the Internet will not shut
down entirely, it will experience a dramatic slowdown in innovation because quot;new content and
application providers will be handicapped by the relatively poorer performance of their offerings
vis-#224;-vis those created by the established players.quot;/p/divbr style=clear: both;/ a

Earlier this year, you may recall that Bell Canada started a
href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080324/152928636.shtml"traffic shaping its DSL/a even at
the wholesale level -- and did so without bothering to tell any of its resellers. That meant that
various resellers of Bell Canada, which had promised customers an open network, were suddenly
lying, without even knowing it. These reseller ISPs protested, and Bell Canada responded by telling
them to a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080325/155924648.shtml"shut up and deal/a with
it. The other ISPs protested to Canadian regulators who have now a
href="http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/CRTC-Rules-Against-Indie-ISPs-In-Throttling-Dispute-99206"
target="_new"sided with Bell Canada/a, claiming that the traffic shaping is not discriminatory,
because it impacts all reseller ISPs the same way. Of course, that's not the type of
idiscrimination/i the ISPs were complaining about... br /br / The whole thing does seem quite
questionable, as Bell Canada effectively changed the terms by which it provided service to its
reseller ISPs, without any notification, let alone negotiation. Yet, because Bell Canada is
effectively a monopoly as a provider of DSL, the ISPs have no competitive options to which they can
turn. It sounds like the regulators could be convinced to examine other aspects of Bell Canada's
traffic shaping plans, but for now, it's given the go-ahead on having them force all resellers to
provide traffic-shaped DSL, even if they had promised not to traffic shape.br /br /a
