Marshall wrote: Those sorts of percentages are common in Pareto distributions (AKA
Zipf's law AKA "the 80-20 rule"). With the Zipf's exponent typical of web usage and video watching, I would predict something closer to 10% of the users consuming 50% of the usage, but this estimate is not
that unrealistic.
I would predict that these sorts of distributions will continue as long as humans are the primary consumers of bandwidth.
