    Depends on how you measure things. If you pie-chart the internet by bandwidth used, most of it is currently used for TV 2.0 (streaming video, mostly by subscription.)

      I really don’t consider streaming services to be the “real” internet. It’s video on demand, and not a communication, socialization and creation space like the rest of the net.

        True, but everyone paying for “broadband internet” is paying that premium for the fat pipes to carry video on demand.

        The communication, socialization and creation space might use less than 10% of the bandwidth, less than 0.1% if you take video out of it.
