Video to drive internet traffic
Video has overtaken data as the primary driver of Internet traffic
Global Consumer Internet Traffic Mix
Internet video was 25% of traffic and if we assume 60% of
P2P is video, it accounts for 55% of traffic
Growth of Internet Video to PC is slowly arresting the growth
of P2P

An online ecosystem or platforms
• Advertising – Google vs. Yahoo! vs. Microsoft vs. attackers (exchanges /
networks, performance-based vs. CPM, behavioral vs. contextual, ‘social
graph,’ tools - widgets…)
• Commerce – Amazon.com vs. eBay vs. Wal-Mart vs. attackers
• Payments – PayPal vs. Amazon.com vs. Google vs. mobile
• Social Networks – Facebook vs. MySpace vs. Yahoo! vs. Google / Orkut
vs. Skype vs. attackers
• ‘Traffic’ - As monetization tools improve, value of good traffic should rise
• ‘Services’ – Rugby scrum?

As IPTV transforms itself into an experience platform, new issues would need
to get addressed
PC to TV integration If it is on the internet it is on
your TV
Issues for IPTVPossibilities Description
Pricing based on Bandwidth, content or
caching ?
Multi-device Multi network
Download once, play it wherever
Who monetizes at source?

What do you control and what do you
outsource?
