Is the Internet Reaching the End of its Lifespan?

When the Internet was first designed, it was based on the assumption that computers would be in fixed locations and always connected. Those were the days when the Internet was used purely for things such as e-mailing and Web browsing. During that time, the most common apprehension among ISPs was whether they offered too much bandwidth to consumers. Today, there are a whopping 1.26 billion Internet users worldwide and technology has evolved to encompass more capabilities and more gadgets. Mobile gadgets such as laptops, mobile phones, and smartphones are flooding the market; content platforms such as IPTV and VOD are growing in popularity. Together with the proliferation of online media such as YouTube, Joost, iTunes, and Facebook, the darkest fear of telcos and ISPs has now become bandwidth shortage.
