Industry analyst Dave Burstein directs our attention to this presentation before the FCC (pdf) by Kevin Schneider, the CTO of network hardware vendor Adtran. Schneider's data is a fairly refreshing departure from the normal hyperbolic exaflood nonsense pushed by carriers to scare politicians into doing their bidding, Schneider noting that the capacity is absolutely there to handle capacity demands (even Michael Jackson). He does see some problems with the shared last mile capacity of WiMax, LTE and coaxial networks (particularly upstream) after 2015, though Burstein claims Comcast told him they'll have 120Mbps upstream DOCSIS 3.0 trials operational this year.
