Video and Peer(2)Peer and Peering

Source: andyabramson.blogs.com

It’s more than just downloading of video to replace TV that the Internet will deliver.

In my view video communications will also be highly interactive. Each day another major market news outlet writes about video chat or conferencing as it has been called for a while. Given the move towards telework, the gas crisis, the rising costs of travel, I’d say video has a GREEN light with the public and that means the ISP’s need to be seriously thinking about upstream pipe, backhaul for wireless networks and video and voice peering.
