According to one head honcho at AT&T yes, and soon. Speaking at a Westminster eForum on Web 2.0 this week in London, Jim Cicconi, vice president of legislative affairs for AT&T said that without investment, theInternet’s current network architecture will reach the limits of its capacity by 2010.

“The surge in online content is at the center of the most dramatic changes affecting the Internet today,” he said. “In three years’ time, 20 typical households will generate more traffic than the entire Internet today.”

For people still hung up over Barack Obama’s U.S. patriotism, it doesn’t get any better for your flag waving ass than having Bruce “Born in the USA” Springsteen endorsing you. From the Boss’s official website:

After the terrible damage done over the past eight years, a great American reclamation project needs to be undertaken. I believe that Senator Obama is the best candidate to lead that project and to lead us into the 21st Century with a renewed sense of moral purpose and of ourselves as Americans.
Over here on E Street, we’re proud to support Obama for President.

What does a multi-national company do when two Ecuadorians fighting against them win an award? They launch a PR battle attack. Pablo Fajardo and Luis Yanza were named the 2008 Goldman Environmental Prize recipients for their 14 year grassroots struggle against Chevron and the contamination that oil company has done against the country and people of Ecuador, specifically in the Amazon region.

In response, Chevron issued a press release and hold a press briefing saying that the company objects:

to the Goldman Foundation over its selection of personal injury lawyer Pablo Fajardo and his associate, Luis Yanza, who were revealed today as 2008 Goldman prize recipients. Chevron regrets that the organizers of the Goldman Environmental Prize were skillfully misled into naming Mr. Fajardo and Mr. Yanza as prize winners.
