90% of web traffic to be video 'by 2014'

gregbabula:

Video content is set to take over the internet by 2014, with net analysis firm Cisco VNI Forecast predicting big changes for the web by 2014.

From there research, there’s a few mind-blowing numbers, including that 64 exabytes per month will be processed on the web in 2014 – four times the amount which is piped through in 2010.

Cisco VNI Forecast also believe that the various forms of video the internet now carries – TV, VoD, Internet Video, and P2P – will account for 91 per cent of consumer traffic.

See? Even though we live in a world of encroaching and slightly scary technology, some things remain the same… We just want to watch TV! Even the Mac snobs with their imac’s sat pretentiously in the café are just looking at youtube. Business men are not looking at the FT site to see how their financial investments are doing, they are watching a kitten chase a ball of wool…
