Ralph de la Vega, Group President at AT&T spoke about how much online video is eating up his company’s bandwidth. To give us an idea how exponential bandwidth usage has risen since the deployment of online video, he pointed to the Evolution of Dance video. It’s been viewed more than 70 million times on YouTube. A significant percentage of that viewership was through AT&T’s networks. According to de la Vega, the viewing of just that video alone equaled all the bandwidth of all its customers for the entire year of 2000.
