International Internet Traffic Jams Ahead Unless More Cables Laid

International Internet Traffic Jams Ahead Unless More Cables Laid

As the internet rapidly expands with ever more videos, web pages and posts, more ocean-spanning cable lines will be needed to string together this essential global computer network.

In five to seven years, for example, the transatlantic fiber optic cables linking the United States to Europe will run out of capacity.

Why has it taken you so long to think about this aspect of NBN?

Consumer NBN will be no faster than current ADSL dues to lack of overseas incoming capacity. That's why NBN is technically a joke at the moment. For the future? Good thing, like copper in the ground the govt paid for decades ago.

Wot are you talking about? The above shows that people investing in cross-Pacific capacity discounted the NBN completely. Labor idiot.

You have to remember that anybody who contradicts this political shill is automatically a "Labor idiot". Thats as far as his tiny intellect goes.

Not very bright are you?

The article (did you read it?) is about trans-Pacific capacity. Clearly investors have completely discounted the NBN.

Talking about tiny intellects...

Now they can increase capacity to meet demand. I rather Australia pushing for increased capacity thus allowing these companies to lay more cable than limiting us to the capacity they set.
