The ecological footprint of the Internet
The Internet is all around us and is an integral part of our everyday life. Despite this there is very little awareness within the network industry about where the energy comes from that supports a global Internet or the environmental footprint it produces. With a constant increase in the number of internet users, bandwidth, and time spent on digital platforms: ICT is predicted to be 20% of the world’s energy consumption by 2030.Â
