Internet networking traffic will quadruple between over the next four years according to a report from Cisco Systems.
They also predict that online video will be the driving force of that growth.
YouTube has hit the mammoth 2 Billion downloads a day already and with online US TV phenomomon Hulu about to hit mobiles, Purple Revolver wonders will we really need a TV in a few years?
There’s also a closer milestone in Cisco’s research: Online video will surpass peer-to-peer traffic (which includes file sharing services like BitTorrent and a bulk of content piracy) for the first time this year.
We’ve already learned from comScore’s data that web users are watching more videos for longer than they used to, but Cisco also predicts massive growth in video calling.
Devices like Apple TV and those running Google TV could contribute to increased online video usage too.
