Video & Libraries: Part Deux

By admin

Well, we’re seeing some real growth predictions in the video space.

Online Video Will Push Internet Traffic to Quadruple by 2014

Here?s the chart that shows how different forms of traffic will grow over the next five years.

Will libraries be able to play a role in the streaming media space or will it go completely commercial? What are the hurdles to supporting streaming video to the home or personal device in libraries?

Can libraries start to develop their own streaming media beyond the present great experiments?
