1400122 2015-05-05 22:40:00 They were saying the same thing 5 years ago, that movies etc would use all all the internet data capacity. It didnt happen.

"At current growth rates, it's estimated the internet could use up the entire output of the British power grid by 2035"
that statement shows the article is full of BS.

The original link (copied by 3news)

More BS.
"Professor Ellis, of Aston University in Birmingham, told the Daily Mail: 'We are starting to reach the point in the research lab where we can't get any more data into a single optical fibre."
The intensity is the same as if you were standing right up against the sun.

1400125 2015-05-06 00:19:00 Dial up modems were supposed to be unable to go faster due to the limitations of the phone line and would never exceed 14k4, or was it 28k8, no it's 33k6. actually if we make the exchange end digital it's 56K. Ok, we take the exchange out of the picture, shorten the line and use new modulation methods and now you can have ADSL but that's probably it, it'll never go faster. Then there's ADSL2, 2+, VDSL....

Point is speed limits are claimed then broken on a regular basis, technology keeps changing, networks keep growing. Predictions like this are only useful to network planners and of no actual meaning to the rest of us. Reach the limit of the fibre network? - put more fibre in or use newer technology. There's always an answer.
