Of particular interest is the continuing prominence of file-sharing (inspite of the demise of Napster) and the amount of bandwidth consumed in even 'legitimate' activities. It seems students demand for bandwidth just keeps growing."

    inspite of the demise of Napster


    Pray tell, what does 'inspite' mean?


    Perhaps you meant to use a spelling or grammar checker. The turn of phrase you're looking for is "in spite of", meaning "although use of Napster has dropped, [bandwidth use is still high]".
