How we consume information is rapidly changing The average user, in the course of their day spanning time across work and home ,typically Watches content from netflix , hulu or youtubeUses their smartphones just to check email or watch videosAttends a few meetings on TelepresenceAnd competes in a game on say a playstation with a friend across town over the internetIn the near future, 3D programming such as Avatar on 3DTV and the proliferation of tablet pc’s, e-book readers etc will be the normSo what does this mean?Firstly, the Global Annual IP Traffic will grow five fold from 122 EB to nearly 660 EB. That’s nearly 2/3rd of a ZettabyteLet’s put this in perspectiveIts equivalent to steaming 130,000 DVD’s across the net in just a second Reference - (Contact SrivatsanDesikan with questions)Media StreamingAssume 2 hrs/day of media player usageMonthly = 2 *30 * 60 * 60 * 750(per CLUE for Online Video Streaming) = 162 GBHDTV, 3DTVAssume 4 hrs/day of TV usageMonthly = 4 *30 * 60 * 60 * 30000(per CLUE for Next Gen MPEG 2 HD) = 12.96 TBSmart PhonesBusinessweek , ‘The Truth about Bandwidth’, Feb 15,2010Quoted as Superphones in the articleMonthly = 560 MBTablets/eBooksBusinessweek , ‘The Truth about Bandwidth’, Feb 15,2010Monthly = 1000 MBTelepresence per roomAssume 2 hrs/day of usage per userMonthly = 2 *22 * 60 * 60 * 13000(per CLUE for Online Video Streaming) = 2 TBOnline GamingAssume 2 hrs/day of usageMonthly = 2 *30 * 60 * 60 * 210(per CLUE for Online Video Streaming) = 45.36 GBTOTAL = 15.208 Tb/mth/user
Whats even more interesting is that The Traffic Mix will dramatically shift by 2013About 90 percent of consumer traffic will be video.Mobile traffic will see 6500% Growth – powered by 5.6 Billion devices worldwideDC to DC traffic driven by Cloud will emerge as a strong growth area growing 300% by 2013
What will it take to create these cities/communities… new visionary leadership & the creation of New Business Models.Imagine the huge opportunity for new services. Technology will be the key enabler.Only 2% of infrastructure spend – 2% of a trillion dollars is spent on technology – even an increase of 1%? To enable this we should together drive:Visionary leadership is key – finding people with similar mindsets, passion and vision for the future…that’s really key.Global open standards – this is what we do! We did it 25 years ago with the internet…bringing together different protocols and making them all work together. That’s not something just anyone can do.Smart regulation – we need leaders to step up….LEED certification….give benefits to people who implementPublic private partnerships – this has been key to our success so far.And a New ecosystem – working with developers, people like Schneider ElectricBut it takes all five of these factors…without one, it changes completely.
