YouTube has been bought. Skype has been bought. The two unmissable video and voice service providers. But there are still plenty of players, with many others to come. And that freaks Nortel out. The telecoms company is questioned about a new round of big expenditures by telcos to add more bandwidth.
The worry comes after analyzing the last semester of bandwidth consumption. It shouldn’t be a short-term trend, but a tsunami, said Nortel CTO John Roese to Reuters.
In fingerprint, of course, it’s the shadow of Net Neutrality rising again. But many experts say that infrastructure built during the first Internet bubbles could bear the current demand. And this bandwidth consumption may favor the emergence of new compression algorithms, distribution technologies, and infrastructures.
