WhatsApp on tilt if traffic continues to grow. Zuckerberg: '' So we can't stand ''

The Coronavirus it is turning the world upside down not only for the health emergency, with deaths and situations of lack of places for intensive care, but also for an overload of internet networks in recent weeks. The reason is easy to say given that almost everyone has been working from home lately thanks to "smart working". Not only because social distancing does not allow for close relationships and this therefore can only be bypassed with online means of communication such as WhatsApp, Messenger and more.

WhatsApp and Messenger: traffic more than doubled in a few days

Facebook servers seem to be more than "scorching" in this last period and to say it is not analysts but directly Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of the Social Network par excellence, who declared as in Italy but also in other countries most affected by theemergency COVID-19, there has been a increase in the volume of use of its Messegner and WhatsApp. Numbers never seen to date and which mainly concern video calls and voice calls rather than simple text messages (which do not worry the CEO much). In this case the first two in fact require more data and these increases, if compared to the other countries that are starting to suffer the emergency, it could lead to a blackout of the entire infrastructure.

Zuckerberg carries on the example of Italy having been the one after China to have the greatest number of infections and therefore to introduce the so-called "lockdown" first, that is the total block of the population in their homes. If traffic increases like that of Italy were to occur in bulk also for other countries in the world, the infrastructures could easily go haywire. Zuckerberg also admitted that "for the moment we are not yet facing a massive contemporary epidemic all over the world. But if this happens, we will have to make sure we are up to the infrastructure point of view".

An alarm that launched by the CEO of Facebook and WhatsApp that wants to put on a higher level of interest the problem of the increase in data traffic had in recent weeks in Italy but also in other countries of the world. Not just because the warning also seems to go towards significant infrastructure interventions capable of avoiding future black outs of the network and social networks.

The figures on the increase in traffic have been confirmed by national operators. On the one hand Vodafone he said he had to manage an additional workload in terms of traffic on its network that has already exceeded 50% of the average. Even TIM, according to the reports of its CEO Gubitosi, recorded an increase of over 70% of internet traffic from the fixed network, especially deriving from online video games. The task of the providers is now to guarantee a service that perhaps will not be as fast from the start as before, but whose operation is fundamental to ensure that people can not only work from home where possible but also maintain those social contacts that , are currently prevented in person.
