Internet infrastructure
In 2007 and 2008 Nemertes published widely publicized reports on Internet infrastructure trends focusing on bandwidth demand versus build-out, and more recently, logical Internet issues involving IP address depletion and route table scalability. In particular, its widely noted report, "Internet Interrupted: Why Architectural Limitations Will Fracture the 'Net" Nemertes argued that Internet access capacity will become insufficient to handle demand as early as 2010 These findings have supported the positions on the need to increase internet capacity taken by the Internet Innovation Alliance (IIA),. The findings and conclusions of such reports have been widely criticized  though Nemertes argued that data caps and restrictions on streaming services validated their findings.
