10 Ideas for the next 10 years
Bandwidth is defined as the capacity to move information through a channel, so the more information you move through a channel the more bandwidth you use. So with all the smart phones out like an iPhone watching videos and downloading apps are requiring more bandwidth than expected. Some companies already saw this like Apple and implemented a Wifi option into their iPhone and encourages users to use this option when they can. So the problem becomes can we rely on companies like Comcast and AT&T to upgrade their services in order to keep up with the demand, and if they don't then customers will go to the company that will, assuming one does. If not the minor information traffic jams we get today might turn in to a full scale information traffic jam later down the road. So if we keep using the internet as much as we like, which it seems that there is no indication that we will anytime in the near future, then someone will have to figure out a way to solve this problem if we all want the advantage of having a high-bandwidth connection to the internet.
