Bandwidth fairy tales: When will the "Three Little Pigs" get it right?

Who’s afraid of the "Big Bad Wolf" of bandwidth demand? This is the one who eats up bandwidth like there is no tomorrow. Every month, he gets bigger and bigger and the Three Little Pigs get more afraid of confronting him. In other countries, he is revered and fed to his heart’s content.

Here in the United States, he is written off as myth and lobbied against as something that will never come to town by "Chicken Little," hired by the Three Little Pigs to scare the legislators into locking in statewide agreements without making the Three Little Pigs commit to real gigabit upgrades.
