    They have said this many times over the last 10 years,I first hit the Internet back in mid 1994.
    They have always found a way to handle the load.

    I just don't see this also
    The Internet is made up of millions of servers that communicate
    Thus the web
    As the need for more data transfer,the amount of servers or size increase will take care of it

    The amount of servers isn't the issue. Think of servers as terminals and internet activity as trucks moving freight. You can build as many terminals as you want to store the freight but the roads can only handle so many trucks moving the freight.

    The amount of traffic is increasing quicker than they can build the infrastructure to move it.

    Once the Military/Government moves off channel
    there will be a nice sizable avenue to route data thru.
    They have always been the biggest system hog since the Internets conception.

    When the Military is done with it,its then allowed for the General Public.
    T1 to them is slower then a 386 on dial-up :biggrin_25523:

    The pipes that carry data are getting bigger every day as well. The internet is now comprised of pipes ranging from T1 speeds up to OC768 speeds. For those that don't know, an OC768 is 40Gbps.
