Some one is going to have to pay for the extra investment. Will it be the kids on Youtube, Youtube or all of us?

Increased demand never limits growth. That would be a retarded position to settle for when running a business. A company that sees that it's reaching the limits of its present infrastructure will not just sit on its laurels and say that they can't deliver to the customer. They either will have to expand or face losing customers to someone who can deliver.
This reeks of an industry advertising campaign for Akamai, Limelight and other content providers masked as loose "research".
Technically they could "say" that we will run out of bandwidth, but that will never happen. |
Let me explain how business works so you get a better picture.
(A) I go shop for my groceries at
Sellitcheap because it's the cheapest place to buy my groceries. The problem is I have to stand in line to get into the shop, the trolleys are busted and the food is always just stacked in boxes and sometimes they run out. When it comes to pay there's a line and it takes hours to do what should take an hour.
So I decided to say fuck it and shop across the road, a bit more expensive but the convenience is worth every penny.
(B) If supplying a customer costs more than they pay you want to get rid of that customer.
The cheap ass fucks who don't want to spend money can leave, the rest of us can pay for a better service.
