Where a report says that Metaverse has a lot of potentials to increase the consumption of time and bandwidth (the maximum rate of data transfer) that is used to use devices such as smartphones, televisions or video game consoles. The flow of internet traffic has already been 80 per cent in the video, which continues to grow at an annual rate of 30 per cent.
