Re: [Fwd: [IP] Japan facing bandwidth shortage due to take-up in broadband]

With the current facilities as they are, a simple calculation shows
that

actual communications traffic will exceed the backbone's maximum

capacity as

soon as five years from now.



Since when is this is a good indicator? If we ignore any of the growth
in facility capacity in the last 5 years, wouldn't we all be in
capacity -plus situations right now? I know we are moving more than
our total capacity from 5 years ago.





I suggest that folks re-read and heed the words of Sage Bush. This
announcement is simply official marketing

to support a few facts: a) the government is officially acknowledging
the exponential growth of the Internet,

something that all here understood long ago, b) the government is now
supporting the development of a router

in Japan and this is the rationale for them to provide governmental
support for the 'lucrative' core router

market.
