The End of the Internet ?

The Consortium of Internet Service Providers recently conducted a research on the use of the internet in the United States and decided that we have reached the end of the Internet? What the fish you think?! The Armageddon of the WEB as they see is s because mainly the huge infrastructure in the United States are unable to cope with the rising demand of the Internet, citing slow downloads for YouTube Videos, Applications, Web Pages and even due to the priority given to Voice Over Internet Protocol ( VOIP ) calls made all thru the internet.

However, being in the US, I find that the users will NOT switch back to Narrowband 56Kbps dialup which is mainly free in the US, but rather the take up rate will increase. The standard Broadband in the US, is sadly said to be anything just over 128Kbps which is a dual channel ISDN equivalent. Imagine being called on the internet super highway with just 128 Kilo Bits Per Second??

WHAT?? Even with GPRS or Global / General Packet Radio Service and HSDPA on the Blackberry or 3G Mobile Phone on the GSM or CDMA / TDMA Networks are far speedier than these kind of broadband. What speeds can the cell phone in your pocket go up to? As low as 384Kbps on generic WAP up to 3.8Mbps on HSDPA 3.5G Hybrid phones.

Imagine the thought of being stuck with dialup..is something I can imagine ..NOT. Call me a high school kid whatever, but I will never be stuck with dialup or modems unless it’s for faxing a document of somewhat. Thing is, the majority of the United States are CABLED. If Singapore can operate the DOCSIS 2.0 technology over the existing cable TV System to boast a 108Mbps broadband SUSTAINED without any bottleneck on a one-to-one basis is a real smack on their face, when the majority of the US is sidetracked with a mere 1.5 mbps shared speed. Even with ancient dinosaur Britain is still chugging at 5mbps on their NTL-Telewest ( Virgin Media ) Baseband Cable TV and superseded and overtaken by the incumbent BT Copper ADSL at 32Mbps!

So, I will see with the expansion of Cingular / T-Mobile / AT&T 3G systems alongside with the Verizon and the TDMA /CDMA system cross connectivity in the US be a boost, as the backbones grow faster, over speeds of Terabytes per Second, instead of the current STM3 peering.

What do you think? Will it be the End of the Internet for the US? Or for other countries?
