The Internet needs a massive investment to keep up with the demands of YouTube fans, billions of e-mails and wireles access, a university study states.If the network that carries Internet traffic were a highway, it would be as if every car owner, “rushed out and traded in their cars for massive 20-wheel trucks,” stated the report from University of California-San Diego Professor Michael Kleeman, a senior fellow at the USC Annenberg Center for Communication.In the report, titled “Point of Disconnect,” Kleeman writes that there needs to be a massive expansion of network capacity in the United States, and even though network operators are making those investments it still may not be enough to keep up with demand.
