This is an interesting phrase. Did you mean it T-I-C, or are you
speculating that M2M (machine-to-machine) communications will at some
point rival/overtake bandwidth consumption which is interactively
triggered by human actions? Right now TiVo will record television
programs it thinks you might like; what effect will this type of
technology have on IPTV, more mature P2P systems, etc.?
It would be very interesting to try and determine how much automated
bandwdith consumption is taking place now and try to extrapolate some
trends; a good topic for a PhD dissertation, IMHO.
