Carrier Collaboration

In many opportunities, PACNET's CEO Bill Barney has "campaigned" for collaboration. He said "Colloboration is the catalist for growth!". Agree?? Why do we need to collaborate ? Below are several noticeable things he mentioned.

• We are not completely redundant on our own - sample case Taiwan earthquake 2006
• The bits are getting bigger
• The bigger bit guys are multiplying
• Online video: traction high and increasing (08/2008 - YouTube --> 344 Mn global visitor|+50% YoY; 43 bn minutes | +99% YoY); other distribution models: Hulu, FanCast, veoh, Joost, SlingMedia, VUDU
  
• We cannot afford 'it' alone
• (especially in Asia) : the Internet population doubles every 3 years; the bandwidth per user doubles every 5 months
