Shawn Fanning Quotes

Data can generally travel the speed of light unless networks are congested. When there's congestion, usually the cheapest and best thing is simply to add capacity generally, not to prioritize certain sites over others.

But as soon as we got that higher speed access to the home there's going to be a tremendous crunch on the backbones for a much higher speed bandwidth. People really ought to be planning for that.

If I were to wish for two things, they would be as much bandwidth as possible and ridiculously fast browser engines.

Network operators need reasonable leeway to manage their networks.

What I would like with the Internet is to have it go faster.

He said this has the potential to be the first broadband killer application, and it has sort of become the truth because obviously it's so bandwidth intensive. I mean, it has been an issue.

There's nothing special about wireless networks except that wireless capacity is sometimes less than what you can get, for example, from optical fiber.

Companies that are hosting Web sites or do a lot of teleconferencing need a lot of bandwidth going both ways.

When we travel to other countries, the Internet speed is so much slower. So I think in terms of technology, 5G and Internet speed, Korea has an absolute advantage over other countries.

You cannot prevent collisions if the data that can prevent them is still making its way through the network.

YouTube is a problem. It has very big traffic, but it refuses to contribute to the weight of that traffic.

The routers get involved in this and they know that on the path between this router and that router a certain percentage of the bandwidth is reserved to these things and a certain percentage of it is allowed on a first come first served basis.

Having run Tellme before, one of the things I learned about running a big network is it's one thing to have some people not be able to get on the way they want to get on, but as long as people who are on the network are having a good experience, you're totally cool.

Older generations of Wi-Fi weren't quite robust enough to deliver video in the home without breaking up and losing packets and so forth. 5G Wi-Fi gives you extended reach, extended data rates, and more robust coverage.

It is very difficult for me to speculate as to how long it will take for the LTE-TDD ecosystem to mature. Of course, the whole industry is speaking of scale and a combination of scale in order to get more efficiency in the ecosystem.

The Internet's kinda in danger of getting heart disease pretty soon, I think. Arteries are getting clogged.

In seven to ten years video traffic on the Internet will exceed data and voice traffic combined.

A worldwide web of electronic connections now moves data at ever-increasing speed and volume along what we call the information superhighway.

They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material.

The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law' becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other!

We're obsessed with making sure that voice and video work well even on low-end phones.

We launched DirecTV Now. Our 5G evolution plans and improved spectrum position are paving the way for the next generation of super-fast mobile and fixed networks.

In order to seize the opportunity presented by the acceleration of 5G, we plan to invest approximately €100 million in 2018 to meet near-term customer requirements for early 5G trials.

No one will use the new Internet if it's slow, costs money and doesn't scale.

Gigabit LTE will be an important technology evolution because that puts demands on the rest of the network to basically be - 5G-ify it.
