Hello jswearingen,
From a recent Computer Weekly article dated March 2003:
According to Forrester Research founder and chief executive officer
George Colony CEO, today there are “about 500 million devices are
connected to the internet, but by the end of the decade there would be
billions of connected devices, including cars, phones and many other
electronic devices.”

From Electronic Data Systems Corporation
“By 2010, devices connected to the Internet will reach 35 billion
(nearly 6 devices per person on the planet).”

Internet in the Next Five to Ten Years." 2000 WorldCom, Inc.
“By 2020, so many appliances, vehicles, and buildings will be online
that it is likely there will be more Internet devices than people
online at any given moment.”

Internet." TIME.com (June 19, 2000).

From an interview of Vint Cerf, Founder and former Chairman of the
Board of the Internet Society which took place during the World
Telecom Internet Days at World Telecom:
How do you see the Internet developing over the next ten years?
“I see it increasing in its total capacity and penetration. Today we
think there are maybe 200 million people using the Net, which is a
pretty small number compared to the world's population. I'm not sure
how quickly we will reach the billion mark in terms of users, but it
could be somewhere between 2004 and 2006. I also estimate that there
will be about a billion devices on the Net by 2006 - 2007. A lot of
these devices will be appliances rather than conventional PCs and
laptops. You will see many appliances like the European GSM appliances
with built-in Web capability. There will also be increasing innovation
in terms of applications that are being supported.

Internet in the next five to ten years by Vint Cerf:
“Anyone who claims or even suggests to know for certain what will
happen to the Internet in the future is guilty of hubris or subject to
delusions. I won't make that claim! However, there are trends that can
be discerned and extrapolated.”
(..)
“Projections of Internet growth suggest that there will be 900
million servers among a total of 2.5 billion total devices on the
Internet by 2006 - the latter number including about a billion and a
half Internet-enabled mobile telephones. By 2010, half the world's
population may be able to access the Internet, if present rates of
growth continue unabated. By that time, some estimates of connected
devices of all kinds reach 35 billion (nearly 6 devices per person on
the planet!). That this may not be completely insane is illustrated by
the fact that in 2000, a person with a laptop, personal digital
assistant and a cell phone may already have three devices on the
Internet. When one starts adding household and office appliances
(e.g., facsimile machines, printers, refrigerators, televisions and
video cassette recorders), it is not hard to see how the numbers might
add up. Of course, the averages will be skewed to much higher numbers
in the most networked parts of the world (North America, Europe,
Australia, Japan, parts of India and the Pacific Rim) and smaller
numbers in the less networked parts”
I highly recommend that you read the article in it’s entirety at the
