This is an interesting phrase. Did you mean it T-I-C, or are you speculating that M2M (machine-to-machine) communications will at some point rival/overtake bandwidth consumption which is interactively triggered by human actions? Right now TiVo will record television programs it thinks you might like; what effect will this type of technology have on IPTV, more mature P2P systems, etc.?

It would be very interesting to try and determine how much automated bandwdith consumption is taking place now and try to extrapolate some trends; a good topic for a PhD dissertation, IMHO.
