The Internet has effectively dealt with both high growth in number of users and in bandwidth consumed per user. Though it really has nothing to do with stateful networking, data traffic from iPhones has more than challenged the AT&T network. As stated in my article "The Death of Telephony", I suspect AT&T thought they were selling a phone and not an Internet terminal. And, realize that with 4G technology, "cell phone" networks become just a wireless part of the Internet and carry only IP traffic, both voice and data.

The cell phone network has grown larger and faster than the Internet, and managed to provide Quality of Service while doing so. It is a statetful network that supports the killer app for networking: live interpersonal communication. It proves that the Internet design dogma is wrong. Incredibly silly post.

It proves that the Internet design dogma is wrong.

Excellent and so true. Now we just need to get rid of obsolete copper bottlenecks and we can see what it will accomplish. The first country to do this will reap untold rewards... chris ‘The Internet has succeeded largely because of what it has not attempted to do.’
