Hey , I really appreciate you getting that link , but it says page not found just fyi . I looked up the article manually and verified it though . I will say , that ' s 5 hours of TV , not 5 hours of streaming content on the web . Obviously , your argument holds plenty of weight based on that , since TV is slowly dying and people are unlikely to just stop consuming content , so eventually people will likely average those 5 hours over the internet . However , when I said people werent using 1 TB in a year , I was going off current internet data statistics admittedly my estimate was a bit off , people average 100 GB a month which comes out to 1 . 2 TB a year . Also it ' s worth noting that , while the average American might watch 5 hours , people who live together are likely to spend at least some of their viewing time watching with their spouse or family , so just multiplying the number of people by the average time a person spends watching wouldn ' t be accurate for data usage . So , I agree that people watch a lot of TV , and in the future that will translate to a lot of broadband usage . But right now most of that TV is not considered internet data usage , so most people aren ' t using more than 100 GB a month .
