note
[Quote: "Although data traffic increased by more than 3-fold since 2016, network energy use dropped by 2.4% (Telefonica) and 50% (Cogent) over the same time period, demonstrating that historical network energy use is not directly proportional to data traffic. Notably, Telefonica's data traffic jumped by 45% in 2020 due in part to COVID (compared to 2019), with no reported increase in network energy use. Cogent's electricity use dropped 21% from 2019 to 2020 even as data traffic increased 38%."]
