CoolTech Club with Bill Norton : Video Internet
January 17,2008
By 2010, 99% of all Internet traffic by volume will be video. In this presentation I share the business models for delivering video using today's popular distribution methods:
1) commodity transit,
2) CDN services,
3) a hybrid transit/peering, and
4) peer-to-peer.
If you believe my findings that peer-2-peer is by far the most cost effective means, then the efficient market theory suggests that the video internet of 2010 may look fundamentally different than the Internet ecosystem of today. This talk will discuss this potential future.
