I call bullshit.

Bandwidth can easily b overwhelmed with new kinds data.

For instance mp3's saturated dial up.

Video initially saturated typical early 'broadband'. In fact, netflix acknowledges this by creating local mirrored servers to dish video up geographically.

As 3D modelling becomes more and more true to reality the information density will spike again.

What will the next choke be?

Maybe massively realistic vr environs, maybe we start copying consciousness to files... who knows. But we can probably saturate whatever we create.

Most data is really bottled necked by switches and receivers aka infrastructure, not data rate/bandwidth, bandwidth has no theoretical limit in the EM spectrum. The limiters for data would be power required to send the signal and sensitivity of the equipment picking up the transmission at least for EM. Money/materials/falloff radius distance would be the only limiting issues with regard to EM but not the bandwidth itself.
