During that time, the internet would be too congested to deliver the best possible internet experience and it doesn’t end there. Industry experts are talking about having to totally re-do the net (including the cabling and support structures) along with all the software that is designed to work with it to allow it to deliver the best possible speeds that technology has to offer. Current technology installed are antiquated some even as old as the net itself and most are in need of total refurbishing. Though most of the hardware is hot-swappable, newer technology is more powerful and consumes less electricity. The only problem is the will power and budget for the proposed changes would cost billions of dollars and commitments from all the countries and governments on the globe.
