The Internet Singularity, Delayed

This morning Nemertes Research released a report on the future of the Internet infrastructure.  The key finding from the report is that bandwidth demands are exceeding infrastructure investment, especially at the access layer.  We project that users may begin to see the impact of degraded application performance as early as 2010.  We also noted that the planned investments in Internet infrastructure are insufficient to meet growing demand.

We've made the report freely available for download (registration is required):  Here's the link
