OVERVIEW
This new report explores the investment obstacles to high-bandwidth networking, forecasts the future information requirements of end users, and provides projections for the near term. Designed for both service providers and end users, this report paints a detailed, objective picture of how and why high-bandwidth networking is likely to develop over the next 10 years.
For example, the report finds that most U.S. local and long-distance carriers feel compelled to upgrade their backbone networks only to the extent that they perceive bandwidth demands from individual customers and growth requirements for geographic communities. This leads, at best, to piecemeal deployment of new technology and backbone modernization.
Although high-bandwidth deployment is rapidly moving forward in situations where corporate operations are clustered either in large buildings or on a campus, the report finds that the picture for regional, national, and global high-bandwidth connectivity through 2010 is less certain. Scenarios, trends, and developments such as these are examined throughout The Future of ATM and Broadband Networking: 2000 to 2010.
