LOL, I remember reading a news story back in 1994 about how experts predicted that with such exponential growth, the Internet would "collapse under its own weight" by 1996. :roll:

And that's when tons of fiber was being laid. Lots of that fiber is still dark because it wasn't needed and newer technologies could fit more data onto a single pair of fibers.

I don't get this. The source of the story is CLEARLY referenced on Fox's site, so even if poisoning the wells is your debate faux pas du jour, you STILL haven't even adddressed the source, much less the content.

Just check out P&N, that's 99.999999% of all the replies if a article is posted from Fox.

That's crap. I work in the industry- they're basing their "prediction" on if we don't expand anything we have now. Carriers are expanding their network constantly. If you can't handle existing customers, you won't get any new ones.

We're not running out of bandwidth. If anything, we're going to have more available to more areas soon.

Well, to be fair, Fox News has worked hard to build their reputation.
