I believe some of these forecast elements need some discussion. Only 500 million more IM accounts? What about those with multiples? I've got a AIM, Skype, Yahoo! Messenger and my enterprise IM account, or is that already factored into this list. What about mobile IM?
I find it hard to believe that there is SO MUCH SPAM out there. Surely, we'll get better tools to destroy SPAM before it even gets to my inbox?
