The Future of Broadband

by Portfolio Staff

Mar 23 2009

This week's Dual Perspective's topic looks at the Future of Broadband.

The Internet is 75 times larger than it was just five years ago, and shows no sign of stopping until every last person on the planet has, effectively, infinite bandwidth.

Portfolio.com interviews the engineers and businesses who are trying to manage that growth. Wired.com visits the futurists, artists, and visionaries who think they know what a reality show starring everyone, everywhere, all the time, will be like.
