Internet Traffic To Double - Yearly
Posted: 28th Feb, 2003 By: MarkJ
The latest research from IDC, an IT analyst firm, has found that global Internet traffic is set to double (nearly) every year for the next five years. Unsurprisingly the rapid growth is largely driven by broadband adoption:
Total traffic levels will increase from 180 petabits (Pb) per day in 2002 to 5,175Pb per day by the end of 2007.
To put its figures into perspective, the analyst pointed out that the entire printed collection of the US Library of Congress amounts to only 10 terabytes of information.
By 2007, IDC expects internet users will access, download, and share the information equivalent of the entire Library of Congress more than 64,000 times over, every day.
It's believed that consumers will account for 60% of all Internet traffic generated, versus 40% for business users. More @ VNUNet.
