    "Massive Growth Ahead In Net Traffic" -- The Register

    (Found link on ynotmasters)

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/29537.html


    ....Traffic over the Internet is set to double every year for the next five years, according to IDC.

    The market research firm predicts the volume of Internet traffic generated by end users worldwide will nearly double annually between 2002 and 2007. This will mean an increase in traffic from 180 petabits per day in 2002 to 5,175 petabits per day by the end of 2007......


    I think maybe they are giving too much weight to proxy based hitbot users.

    I'll bet a fair chunk of that increase will be foreign traffic.

                I'd bet probably most of that increase will be non english speaking traffic.
                That's why there's umpteen companies out there working on billing solutions for those surfers.

                  ... basicly it means that the sizes of downloaded files will double every year .. not the number of users online !!!

                    "The market research firm predicts the volume of Internet traffic generated by end users worldwide will nearly double annually between 2002 and 2007."

                    Impossible !!!!!


                    think about it
                    right now 2002 - 500million users
                    end of 2003 - 1 billion
                    end of 2004 - 2 billion
                    end of 2005 - 4 billion
                    end of 2006 - 8 billion < thats already more people that are alive in Earth


                    lets do it backwards
                    end of 2002 = 500 million
                    end of 2001 = 250 million
                    end of 2000 = 125 million
                    end of 99 = 62.5 million
                    end of 98 = 33 million
                    end of 97 = 16.5 million ??

                    its a known fact that traffic on the web has NEVER double annually.

                    THE only thing thats true, is most of the growth will come from foreign and 3rd world worthless countries.

                      Thats because you are stupid. The volume of internet traffic will double anually. Not the number of people using the internet. It will increase as more people get broadband connections and can download movies, etc.
