Demand and capacity are both sensitive to price, and the Internet has always been subject to congestion during periods of peak usage. So how would an Internet in which demand has "outstripped capacity" look different from the Internet we've got now?</p> Maybe I need to read the study, but I don't understand what “demand will outstrip capacity” means.
