Another one of those "bandwidth overcapacity" opinions, only this one truly attempts to be alarming... From the front page business section of today's Boston Globe, here's how it starts out: <<If Mark Bruneau is right, tens of billions of dollars worth of stock market investment in information-highway communications networks runs the risk of going up in smoke.>> <<He predicts that within two years, the United States will have 400 times more telecommunications capacity than it had in 1998 - demand for space on networks to carry computer traffic, video and voice calls will grow only 20 times.>> << With one company alone, Qwest Communications International Inc., now building network capacity that could move the the entire contents of the Library of Congress coast-to-coast in 20 seconds, a number of other analysts agree there is reason to question the need for the the half-dozen more like it that are also under construction.>> And so on, and so on.
