Following the discussion about traffic and the relation to ADSL
users etc, I simply must ask: what has traffic to do with usage?
If we just take the numbers above...15% of traffic is mail.
Does it mean people communicate less? Not at all, it gets more
and more. But emails are short (by design and by convenience)
so for the download of one 5kb big wallpaper, I can also send
easily 100 short emails to 100 different individuals and generate
the same traffic.
Comparing email traffic and usage traffic is like comparing
apples and bananas.
