Jevons Paradox states that “increasing efficiency in resource use, leads to a corresponding increase in the consumption of that resource.”

The more efficient and subsequently accessible AI becomes, demand will grow as more industries adopt it, driving an exponential surge in data consumption. DeepSeek’s low-cost, energy-efficient AI model won’t just enable AI growth – it will supercharge its adoption.

But the real urgency? The time to scale is now. As AI-driven demand is only accelerating, organizations must enable their business to be able to support the inevitable bandwidth demands. Fiber based communications infrastructure providers will play a key role in supporting this increased demand with high capacity, low latency connectivity needed by providers and consumers alike.

AI adoption is accelerating, and with it comes an exponential surge in data consumption. Do you think a bandwidth gap is a concern?

• Yes – Networks need to scale fast to keep up
• Somewhat – It’s a challenge, but manageable
• No – Current infrastructure can handle the demand
• Not sure – Interested to see how this plays out
