Internet infrastructure edit
In 2007 and 2008 Nemertes published widely publicized reports on Internet infrastructure trends focusing on bandwidth demand versus build-out, and more recently, logical Internet issues involving IP address depletion and route table scalability. In particular, its widely noted report, "Internet Interrupted: Why Architectural Limitations Will Fracture the 'Net"[3] Nemertes argued that Internet access capacity will become insufficient to handle demand as early as 2010[4] These findings have supported the positions on the need to increase internet capacity taken by the Internet Innovation Alliance (IIA),.[5][6] The findings and conclusions of such reports have been widely criticized [7][8][9] though Nemertes argued that data caps and restrictions on streaming services validated their findings.[10]
