Video Road Hogs Stir Fear of Internet Traffic Jam - New York Times
Last year, by one estimate, the video site YouTube, owned by Google, consumed as much bandwidth as the entire Internet did in 2000.
No wonder Google is helping to build a new transpacific fiber cable.
Wikipedia administrators are preventing the creation of a page on the horrible video ‘2 girls 1 cup’, claiming “Repeatedly recreated nonsense vulgarity article”. The videos sounds horrible (I haven’t seen it) but the thousands of video reactions on YouTube showing people throwing up on seeing the video are hilarious. Surely this phenomenon deserves a Wikipedia page as much as other random pop-culture pages.
