Whether it's the fault of network neutrality advocates or video demand, it seems that everything these days is going to "choke the Internet," or result in some kind of insurmountable bandwidth crunch (despite ramped up investment). The latest bandwidth apocalypse fear comes courtesy of Slashdot and Computer World, who proclaim that a bird flu pandemic would lead to -- you got it -- a worldwide bandwidth meltdown. Apparently, so many people would suddenly be working from home and using the Internet that networks would all struggle under the load. The result, claims Computerworld, would be voluntary and then government-mandated bandwidth rationing.
