Telco CTOs see Web traffic growth as key challenge

Chief technology officers of top US phone companies say dealing with growing Internet traffic is a key challenge, as they work on preventing services like video downloading from bogging down the network. They said the popularity of bandwidth-heavy services, including movie downloads and video chats, was contributing to exponential growth in online traffic. Such growth has kept alive the debate on network neutrality, pitting Internet service providers such as phone and cable companies who want to be able to charge higher fees or to control traffic on their networks against those who oppose interference.
