Internet Traffic to Boom
By Mark Evans | June 16, 2008
If you’re a telecom equipment supplier banking on the Internet’s growth to drive sales, a new forecast from Cisco can only be good news.
Cisco suggests traffic on the world’s networks will jump 46% a year from 2007 to 2012. In 2012, Cisco claims Internet video traffic will be a staggering 400x carried on the U.S. Internet backbone in 2000. Video-on-demand, IP-TV, P2P and Internet video will account for 90% of all consumer IP traffic in 2012.
