5%? I think when i left europe 2.5 years ago it was already at 30% overthere.
Also on /. it has been mentioned the last few months that the growing popularity of streaming video (YouTube, alike, but then fullblown (HD) Movies, Sports & other television) will lead to a meltdown of the IPSs in the US and Europe, as their networks will not be able to cope with the growin demand from people using services like joost ( http://joost.com/) So, if the US and Europe ISPs are getting nervous over P2P and streaming media, planning on a very very steep growth of usage wont be a bad idea here too, i guess. Eh, give James 1 MB/s and he'll happily use it all. I know i would!
