Conclusions:
What might this mean for submarine networks?
– Large content providers pushing towards as large an audience as possible – Appetite for content
growth
– CDNs reduce bandwidth required to address large numbers of users – Appetite for content everywhere, anywhere, on demand – HD/3D video – Internet innovations creating new communication platforms – Cloud computing – eventually – Increasingly sophisticated on- line advertising – Application of P2P techniques to improve efficiency of downloads – Major content providers upgrading peering arrangements deeper into the network Winner

Increasing Traffic, so:
– Continuing upgrades on existing routes depend on the capability of terminal technology to continue to expand the limits of potential capacity on in-service cables in a cost effective way cables in a cost effective way
– Traffic volumes increasingly disproportionate vs. revenues ⇒Continuing pressure on cost per transported bit
