''If all the traffic data covered by the proposal did indeed have to be stored, the network of a large Internet provider would, even at today's traffic levels, accumulate a data volume of 20 - 40 000 terabytes.

Polling opinion pays. 1,594 completed interviews between 29/4/05 and 11/5/05. ... read full story / add a comment
