What do international networks have to do with "The Hunger Games," "The Matrix," and "Mad Max?" Alan Mauldin, TeleGeography's Director of Research, uses the dystopian themes of popular science fiction movies to draw analogies with the state of international networks. Alan presented his talk at PTC 16 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
In the video, Alan covers:
- Moore's Law and its implications on international bandwidth demand growth
- How private networks and data centers are changing the international bandwidth market
- The likelihood of bandwidth exhaustion in the near future
- Whether bandwidth price declines mean prices are becoming more similar around the world
