  By 2010, the average household will be using 1.1 terabytes (roughly
  equal to 1,000 copies of the Encyclopedia Britannica) of bandwidth a
  month, according to an estimate by the Internet Innovation Alliance in
  Washington, D.C. At that level, it says, 20 homes would generate more
  traffic than the entire Internet did in 1995.


Hmmm. Who exactly is "The Internet Innovation Alliance"?

Unfortunately, their website does not say:

 http://www.internetinnovation.org/

But given the content there (generous references to the upcoming
Internet "exaflood" apocalypse), I would guess they are either
compromised of telcos and ISPs or telco lobbyists or both. :-)

It would be interesting to know (the rest of the story...)
