2.1. Economic Forces<br />
High demand—coupled with high usage r<strong>at</strong>es, a deregul<strong>at</strong>ed telecommunic<strong>at</strong>ions environment,<br />
and high availability requirements—is rapidly depleting the capacities of fibers th<strong>at</strong>, when<br />
installed 10 years ago, were expected to suffice for the foreseeable future.<br />
Bandwidth Demand<br />
The explosion in demand for network bandwidth is largely due to the growth in d<strong>at</strong>a traffic,<br />
specifically Internet Protocol (IP). Leading service providers report bandwidths doubling on their<br />
backbones about every six to nine months. This is largely in response to the 300 percent growth<br />
per year in Internet traffic, while traditional voice traffic grows <strong>at</strong> a compound annual r<strong>at</strong>e of<br />
only about 13 percent.<br />
