Can we all go home then?

CNET reports the folks at AT&T (I was about to say "the eggheads" or "the boffins," but the spokesman quoted is from legislative affairs) claim the Internet will hit its capacity by 2010 if big bucks aren't invested in infrastructure.

Makes me think of that home broadband commercial from a few years back, where the guy browses all the way to the "end of the Internet." Hmm ... was that an AT&T commercial? A self-fulfilling prophecy, perhaps?

All I can say is, if we get to that point where we really have filled up all the pipes, you all can panic if you choose. I'd prefer to just pull a Forrest Gump, stop and say: "I'm pretty tired ... I think I'll go home now."
