That’s right, according to AT&T the Internet is to hit full capacity by next year. As an IT guy, I’m always wondering why a company that makes its living selling bandwidth is now telling us there will be no more capacity by next year. I understand what AT&T is trying to say. The Web 2.0 change has now moved the Internet from a medium where we mostly viewed static web pages, to a media extravaganza where we can watch HD movies, listen to music, upload videos and enjoy entertainment content at the click of a button. This change in content means there’s a much greater need for bandwidth. But why yell it to the masses? Why not just upgrade your infrastructure and satisfy your customers? The cynical side of me can’t help but wonder if AT&T is throwing this out there so that next year they can up their monthly rates to “Pay” for the upgrades that need to happen.
