[AusNOG] What?

[McDonald Richards]

Wow - what a well thought out and researched article that is. They reference
an article in the UK which seems to deal with the lack of access network
capacity.

 

FUD!

"INTERNET users will face annoying "brownouts" that will freeze their web
browsers when capacity runs out in cyberspace as early as next year, new
research says.

 

Experts predict consumer demand, growing at about 60 per cent a year, could
outstrip supply as early as next year because more people are working online
and using bandwidth-hungry video and music websites. "

 

I'm _assuming_ this is something to do with IPv4 address running out?   But
I'm not sure.  Not at all.
