France to triple the number of surveillance cameras

France has just announced to triple the amount of 'public surveillance' cameras. I cannot help but wonder about the impact on their network and hardware that will have to support this extra video imagery. As you probably know, video data is quite heavy storage-wise, and therefore has quite an impact on bandwith (data transport) too.
French interior minister Michele Alliot-Marie announced Thursday the government is planning to " triple" the existing CCTV surveillance capacities across the country, with a view to curbing the risks of terrorism and acts of violence.(People's Daily Online)
The french mean to accomplish this by interconnecting the current existing surveillance networks together, which seems smart to me. As with all governments, different parts of that government typivally build there own systems, and find out only 20 years later they should have built it together.
I guess there's a learning curve in everything.
