USIIA Paper Examines 'Exabyte' Internet
May 1, 2007
A new paper from the U.S. Internet Industry Association warns that a data "exaflood" may endanger the Web by surpassing available capacity. Although the so-called "Exabyte Internet" promises to bring new services, applications and opportunities to consumers and businesses, it will not do so automatically, the report states.
USIIA says several general policies are needed to assure the necessary growth of the Internet: a better understanding of the data; a more realistic view of the Internet infrastructure; a “light hand” regulatory approach; and a focus on investment as the national priority. The report is available here.
