Internet Traffic up 62% in 2010

Global Internet traffic has grown 62 percent in 2010, after logging 74 percent growth in 2009.

The growth in traffic is coming from non-mature markets likes Eastern Europe and India, where traffic growth between mid-2009 and mid-2010 was in excess of 100 percent, says Telegeography notes.

In the Middle East, traffic rose just under 100 percent. Traffic in mature markets also is growing rapidly. Western European international Internet traffic increased 66 percent, and the U.S. and Canadian international Internet traffic climbed 54 percent.

In some ways, the growth rates are not news. What would be news is if the amount of traffic demand did not grow about 60 percent.
