AT&T: Internet to hit full capacity by 2010 - CNET News.com

I can't believe this statement by Cicconi at AT&T can be true. There must be a misprint. It's certainly true that bandwidth demands are increasing rapidly, but not this rapidly! Further follow up in a story in USA Today has the quote referring to the "...the entire Internet in 1995." This is more realistic because the Internet was far less pervasive 13 years ago.

"The surge in online content is at the center of the most dramatic changes affecting the Internet today," he said. "In three years' time, 20 typical households will generate more traffic than the entire Internet today."
