Digital Challenges - Bandwidth

Some digital challenges that we face are:

1. File Sizes
2. Processor Demand
3. Bandwidth
4. Preservation

File sizes are always increasing as the complexity of software and higher resolution of media becomes more and more popular. Also with programs becoming more complex processor demand is increasing. As file sizes and applications increase the bandwidth we need to download these things at a decent rate becomes more important.  Finally the preservation is important to ensure that the longevity of the media and apps are secured in the digital form.

Bandwidth is something that is constantly improving because of the competition in the home internet space and also the competition between cellphone carriers. The upgrading of the mobile infrastructure is progressing at a very fast rate, and with increasing usage of mobile phones the faster speed is needed to download the ever growing picture size (higher resolution) and more complex applications and web. With the constant growth of phone and mobile apps mobile bandwidth is put in even more of a focus and the carrier that can provide the best coverage and fastest speed will get the most subscribers which means big business.
