but as soon as technology was developed that enabled high-quality, TV-like viewing
experiences, Internet television was quickly embraced by mass audiences. The growth since

The percentage of people accessing the Internet for leisure time entertainment is growing
rapidly. ABI Research suggests that the total consumer base for Internet video will be nearly
one billion people by 2012, resulting in a total online video market—both pay and adsupported—
of $15.6 billion.
This paper addresses some of the technical infrastructure challenges video content
providers face when bringing their content to the Internet. After examining some of these
challenges, we conclude that while content providers don’t have control over investment in
and performance of Internet infrastructure, solutions exist to assure the best possible
consumer experience regardless of shifting or uncertain Internet infrastructure conditions. Downoad file |
