New York:
43% More Internet Capacity 
than any other city and more
capacity than most countries.

Oct 2001 Internet Survey Reveals
Internet Capacity Grossly Inadequate for Next Generation Content

Internet

The reason for so much bandwidth in New York, is that major connections from 71 countries enter the U.S. through New York.  London, with just over half the Internet capacity of New York, has major connections to 61 countries and holds second place.  The other top Internet cities, in descending order, are; Amsterdam, Paris, San Francisco, Tokyo, Washington, Miami, Los Angeles and Copenhagen.

With knowledge of New York's leading Internet capacity, we can ask how many New Yorkers could watch on-demand DVD content if all the Internet bandwidth of New York could reach into the home or business?
- That is, if we could cut off connections to those 71 countries and dedicate New York's entire Internet capacity for delivering on-demand DVD quality content to the residents of New York.  We are also imagining that we have solved the last mile problem and are able to deliver 6 Mbps* connections to everyone's home or business.  Let's do the math:

- New York's Entire Internet Capacity Used For On-Demand DVD content : 
                                    150 Gbps = 150,000 Mbps
                                    150,000 Mbps / 6 Mbps* = 25,000 lucky customers 

The other millions of New Yorkers would simply have to sit around in the dark while New York's entire Internet capacity was used to deliver services to only twenty five thousand lucky customers!  Recognize that New York's Internet capacity is larger than most countries Internet capacity, and you start to realize the problem.  If we tried to deliver HDTV on-demand over Big Apples Internet, we would only be able to satisfy just over eight thousand customers before the entire capacity of New York's Internet backbone was completely consumed.

*DVD quality content requires 6 Mbps.  For a simple test, take your DVD movie put it in your PC's DVD drive, add up the size of the movie files (VOB files - typically 4GB for a 120 min movie), multiply by eight to convert bytes to bits and divide by the number of seconds in the movie.
E.g. 4,000 MB * 8 = 32,000 Mb / (120 x 60 sec) = 4.4 Mbps - Add 35% for protocol overhead and you are at 6 Mbps to deliver DVD quality content.
