People have been calling for the Internet to get crushed under the weight of its own bandwidth since it was created in the 80s. Of course it never has. But the threats have always been overstated.

One and a half hour movies can get up to one gigabyte in size. Contrast that to a four megabyte iTunes music file which is 250 times smaller. This is a huge amount of data.
