You know what the funniest part of this dreck is? They hired the same marketing people that rebranded creationism as "intelligent design" to come up with "exaflood".
To cope with the possible worst-case scenario of exaflood, mobile carriers will urgnetly need to upgrade to data-intensive 4G such as WiMAX abd LTE since 3G HSPA is essentialy voice-intensive. However,AT&T and Verizon Wireless are reluctant to upgrade to 4G in the next 3 to 5 years, whereas Sprint is busy with its 4G WiMAX deployment initiative.
this was the stupidest video ever! it's another attempt to scare the American people to pay more so something bad doesn't happen (y2k anyone?). it's all about net neutrality and the boogie man (liberals) coming to get you in your sleep! wake up red-america, nothing bad is gonna happen if someone worth 100 billion has to spend a couple million...
Proof that the exaflood is near: This video lagged 3/4 way, and don't go blaming my connection. I have 3 mbit DSL that doesn't share nodes like cable.. =/
Exaflood maybe.... Am I pissed if it happens? Sure. But btw. I dont give a damn about stupid youtube Videos ^^ its not a big loss to humanity if theres not that much bullshit in the internet. As long as I'm able to get my online banking stuff done, play some multiplayer games and check my emails I'm totally ok with a collapse of stupid crap that noone really needs ;)
ASTROTURF ALERT: This video was funded by the Internet Innovation Alliance, a group backed by AT&T. The IIA has been pushing the idea of a looming "exaflood," with the primary goal being industry deregulation. The argument being that if AT&T doesn't get exactly what it wants from lawmakers in Washington, the entire Internet collapses.

true, we will have to improve networks one day, but this video is meant to scare the world.
using the world "flood" to describe something that will eventually hinder amazon, netflix and walmart to open up a new supplychain is harsh sarcasm.
floods destroy lives, not a dvd experience.
again: please don't worry: your email account will never crash for good...

I hate to be a dick about it...but I'll worry about it when it happens.
