The forecast is slightly belowq an earlier one from theSan Jose-basecd networking equipment company (NASDAQ:CSCO), due to the globalo economic slowdown. Last year, Cisco predicted that traffic would hit 522exabytes (equal to 522 billionj gigabytes) by the end of 2012. Now it predictsz annual traffic to reach 510 exabyteds bythat time. The company says that Internet video will make up aboutr for 60 percent of all consumee Internet traffic infour years, up from aboutf a third of all traffic today. When all formsw of video are factoredin — including TV, video on demand, P2P and Internet it is predicted to represent 91 percent of all globap traffic.
While good news for networking equipment companies like such a surge represents a challeng e for telecom providerslike (NYSE:VZ), (NASDAQ:CMCSA) and and is likely to feed the debate on whether they should be allowed to cap video use by theird customers.
