They have worked out a formula to calculate
"Internet Inefficiency".

The formula is as follows:

"Virtual Distance" is defined as:

The amount of bandwidth consumed

from

Point A: (The origin of a question - the desire to acquire data)

to

Point B: (The answer of that question - the acquisition of data).

The less the virtual distance the more efficient the internet or:

"Internet Inefficiency is directly proportional to Virtual Distance."

Although 100% Internet Efficiency is impossible to achieve
(because bandwidth MUST be consumed), the proper data
compression techniques, that is "Data Breakup Algorithms"
or "Grid Computing Protocols" are seeds for future Grid
Computing Networks or a "Mature Internet".
