It's unclear, however, exactly where Metrico tested data bandwidth, and as any iPhone-toting San Francisco resident will tell you, data quality can be terrible in areas with high concentrations of tech geeks.
Indeed, the pace of data bandwidth expansion at altitude has been significantly motivated not by governments, but by demand for connectivity from passengers, first on business jets and now on airlines where in-flight wi-fi is increasingly considered standard.
If one makes the not-unreasonable jump that our society headed to a place where data and bandwidth are the new currency, the Karma hotspot may the perfect product of our time.

F5 Networks manufactures network controllers which are widely used in data centers for bandwidth optimization and speeding up of data.
Because the experiment was designed to test the ability of current networks to carry high-bandwidth data, no explicit QoS support was employed.
This effort will pay enormous dividends for the country, as it will help develop the human capital America needs to lead a global economy that increasingly creates value with big data and big bandwidth.
ENGADGET: Google Fiber is officially coming to Austin, Texas HD
Android users are having personal data stolen, their bandwidth is being misused, passwords hacked.
However, this will need a slimmer stream of data to fit broadband bandwidth and fast computers stitching images together instantly.
Additional network concerns included insufficient bandwidth and data security.
With its dedicated data network and almost unimaginable bandwidth, Qwest was a new sort of telecoms firm.
They calculated the birdy bandwidth by dividing data capacity by the length of the last pigeon's flight--a slowpoke at 3 hours, 51 minutes.
An adapter is available for VGA-based infrastructures and an Ethernet connector helps ensure dedicated, stable bandwidth for fast data transfers and efficient communication with remote locations.

The only setback is that the images are compressed to ease the burden on your bandwidth (and data plan), so you'll want to seek out other services if you need the full enchiladas.
One stock highlighted is Riverbed Technology ( RVBD), which makes products to consolidate IT infrastructure, minimize bandwidth and speed up data access and backup.
Nonetheless, I could not see any reason why high-bandwidth video and other data signals could not be carried on the existing copper, and became fascinated with how to do it.
Numerous digital data sources are becoming available because of a combination of increasing data storage, data processing and data transmission productivity (effective available bandwidth appears to double approximately every 21 months).
In the spirit of its roots, NetZero even has a free plan that caps bandwidth at 200 MB of data per month.
Requests for information usually come in short bursts and require far less bandwidth than the video or data that flows back to the computer requesting the information.
But video poses real challenges, as it consumes considerably more bandwidth than both voice and data, and video quality degrades substantially, often unacceptably, when network congestion interrupts or delays individual packets in traffic streams.
We understand from Epitiro (but have not made any enquiries or carried out any research in relation to this) that the App uses very little bandwidth as it reports on data already present on the phone through its normal background communications within the network.
This is accomplished by sophisticated control and manipulation of satellite spot-beams, on-the-fly bandwidth allocation from the satellites, and data compression.

Huawei believes that pipes with large bandwidth that can transmit and process massive data flow are the key to addressing these challenges and also Huawei's key growth driver in the future.
ENGADGET: Huawei 2012 results: $2.5 billion profit, smartphone penetration 'still way too low'
With the additional bandwidth, Cisco expects huge growth in data consumption by 2016, with growth up 3x in North America and Western Europe, 4x in Asia Pacific, 5x in Central and Eastern Europe, 7x in Latin America and 10x in Middle East and Africa.
And as bandwidth grows, wireless will also pillage the data market.
Fourth generation (4G) networks would also speed the passage of data, as they were much more efficient at using available bandwidth, said the report.
The small but mighty Multifunction Mini Router combines maximum wireless speeds of up to 300 Mbps in a 2.4GHZ wireless band to improve range and optimize data rates, making it the ideal solution for high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, VoIP and online gaming.

The company also follows the more consumer-friendly policy of throttling or slowing down data speeds rather than charging users who exceed their specified amount of bandwidth.
Today, new kinds of devices and media formats require considerably more interface bandwidth and higher transfer rates to move, store and edit data quickly.

If those data bombs continue to grow, as Silva predicts, blame our love of bandwidth.
