atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums General Telecom News AT&T: Internet to hit full capacity by 2010

Let's not turn this into a political issue!

AT&T's Uverse TV and Internet is awesome in my opinion. I've been waiting for a service other than Comcast and Dish.. They will certainly have to stick a bunch of Money into their network if they are to stay on the cutting edge of Technology.

The "Global Warming" will expand the Internet. After all, Al Gore said he invented the Internet, and the way he goes on about "Global Warming", it shouldn't be too long before he lays claim to the name if not the affect. Too bad it's all a bunch of Political Dung. Last year the average global temp was DOWN 0.7 degrees Centigrade. Temp has dropped every year for the last 10. But, nobody mentions that, do they. John C. (Not Garand)

OK, One more time politely.... Please do not attempt to make this discussion a political foot ball!

Please keep on topic.

I'll second that Bobby! :thumb:

this is great opportunity for a developer that understands networking. we have used very expensive appliances for acceleration and compression for our websites between offices, here is a link to a developer working on building an open source program https://trafficsqueezer.sourceforge.net/ if one could build a program that everyone started using for acceleration and compression we wouldn't need near the bandwidth. that goes for Windows and Linux.

if most people realized the amount of bandwidth that corporations have and use it would surprise most. The internet isn't as complicated as AT&T would make it sound, really it's just a bunch of routers inter-connected, that's all. The bandwidth is one thing but for IPv4 those same corporations have a crazy amount of space.

Great post and info, Thanks!

There are many ways around these sorts of capacity issues. I've heard a lot of things for instance.

You can now buy .us.com domain names. they can do that to no end. (.us.net; .us.org; etc)

How bout this.. the 127.0.0.1 LocalHost Address.
Its actually a local host address Block..

if there was a way to free those Ips up. Theres a million or so.

There are still network blocks that are reserved by the internic as far as I new. I was at SBC and we obtained a new netblock and we had influx of calls because the blocks were not propogating.

I personally oppose IPv6 .. only.. if i have to start calculating subnets in Hexidecimal I am gonna Fart... all day long.

wow i didnt really read that article..

um.. Its a good push by AT&T to encourage others companies to expand the Internet backend.

Although they were pretty instumental in removing that capacity from CLECs like North Point Communication in the early 2000's! !! The largest Nationwide Digital Network.

Call Verizon. Say .. we need more Trunks!!
