According to Nemertes Research it is. A recent study concludes that we may well start to experience internet "brownouts", and some companies may be forced to pay big bucks to make sure their content gets to you ok. Distributed by Tubemogul.

I have read some network world wrote of an article tower titled, the net is running short on bandwidth. This is all I am going to kind of tie in together. I have done some videos and I have talked about Comcast capping people with 250 gigabit per month in downloads, talked about Comcast using traffic web traffic shaping tools, talked about AT&T doing this time Warner, others I am looking at ways to slow down control you know the internet from their businesses. So, I am not sure I pronounce the name of this company Nemertes. Nemertes research but this research form says that that take—this form has continue to took cold water on the feature in the internet. Last week released study projecting that the man for bandwidth on the web would be actually see capacity by 2012. Now, this follows--this is a follow up to some similar research conducted last year that basic happen by 2010, but now they are saying because of the economic downturn and everything they are going to kind of go out you know couple more years. Now, what they are saying is that the pragmatically speaking they are not going to say that the internet would just crash and just stop, but rather customers will begin to experience the equal of the internet brownouts where high bandwidth with applications like you know high definition video streaming, period pure functioning and all that so that thing will stop performing up to users expectations. So, it goes on the say one big reason for projected a growth is traffic is continuing the emergence of virtual workers from home or in remote branches and located very far away from the companies central offices and particular this remote workers expects seamless communications, regardless where they conduct business and they want the advance communications, the collaboration tools like those back at their home office would. Now another factors simply large growth and high bandwidth with applications that users employ you know and that again as high definition movies, music, voice over IP, steaming video, all these cool stuff uses a lot of bandwidth. Yes, looking forward the research firm says that this capacity issue is not address, the internet will fracture into a tear of system where companies with the most money as the operate to work, the most money will pay for specialized networking infrastructure that one sure their content is deliver in higher speeds than non-favored content. Well, this is kind of—now I have talked about this look it is going to take a very substantial investment in the pluming if you will the internet especially the highest speed level to have the capacity to meet future demand. There are two avenues you can take. You can take the path that says we are going to make the investment. We are going to have the facilities in place so when the demand there we are ready to go and our customers being happy and be able to enjoy all these wonderful new technologies than can be delivered to the web. That is one path you can go. But it looks to me, in my opinion and it is what it is—my opinion that the other path where you basically ration service and meter service is the way that the ISP’s want to go. So we are not going to spend the money rather we are going to make the service we got more expensive and not only that will be bringing this cured pricing thing on so when a company has wants to be in that favored status by the ISP’s because they are paying more money. And that is what is ultimately this whole thing boils down to as money a way to extrapolate more cash. They cannot get it from the un-user than we will get it from the provided, but somehow we are going to make even more egregious some amounts of money for our service rather than being pioneers innovators and giving what our customers want. We are going to take the other path and tell them you can have it unless you pawn it up the money. So, the conclusion is although the internet will not shut down entirely, it will experience a dramatic slow down innovation, new content and application providers will be handicapped by the relatively poor performa
