Internet bottlenecks, due to the due to lack of investment and growth in video traffic, will become noticeable this year, according to a new report by Deloitte
The report says that one of the key possibilities for 2007 is that the internet could be approaching its capacity.
'The twin trends causing this are an explosion in demand, largely fuelled by the growth in video traffic and the lack of investment in new, functioning capacity,' said Igal Brightman, global managing partner at Deloitte. 'Bottlenecks are likely to become apparent in some of the Internet's backbones, the terabit-capable pipes exchanging traffic between continents.'
He said that investment, either in laying new cable or lighting existing fiber, may be stifled by continuing falls in wholesale capacity prices.
