Video las Vegas! ...from NXTcomm '08

Post date 6/17/08 - 9:42am

I'm here at the NXTcomm show in Las Vegas where everything is about Video. Video is changing everything- advances in video and collaboration technology have made us increasingly visual in the ways that we communicate and collaborate. On demand IPTV, Mobile Video, and Rich Media Collaboration solutions (including TelePresence video conferencing) are driving enormous traffic growth over service provider networks. Cisco just published it's Video Networking Index which predicts a doubling of traffic every year for the next four years.

The business implications for network owning service providers are huge. While Service Providers are counting on video and mobile data services as their revenue engine for the next few years, they must invest in new service creation to monetize video traffic -and- invest in an intelligent network that will support rich media traffic efficiently. Everyone here in Vegas understands that "seeing is believing" :)
