 Big Growth For Internet To Continue, Cisco Predicts
from GigaOM
June 16, 2008
Cisco Systems, the San Jose, Calif.-based company that makes a living selling plumbing for the Internet (amongst other things) has come out with a prediction: the traffic on world’s networks will increase 46 percent from 2007 to 2012, nearly doubling every two years. As a result there will be an annual bandwidth demand of approximately 522 exabytes2, or more than half a zettabyte. If these kind of predictions remind your of the wild-and-wooly claims made by MCI My own observation on all these developments is the continuous contribution of new economies – China, Brazil, Russia, India, Eastern Europe and the New Nordic Nations. Growing number of subscribers and their usage of broadband and mobile broadband is slowly pushing the demand for bandwidth, which has lead to a huge spurt in the traffic on regional and international backbones. New fiber construction to support the traffic growth also bolsters Cisco’s claims. China has already passed US as world’s largest broadband and mobile market. India is getting there. Verisign, a Mountain View, Calif.-based company that is a major player in domain names business notes India now has about 41 million Internet users, making it the eight largest internet country. Cisco notes that Internet traffic is growing fastest in Latin America, followed by Western Europe and Asia- Pacific, and it is likely to be the case through 2012. It kind of makes sense - after years and years of US domination, the Internet traffic is beginning to act in a truer, global fashion.
