Part One of this CyU video reviews key industry trends which have profound implications for service provider networks. This video introduces the next wave of innovation know as the Era of Ubiquitous Computing and summarizes the broader ecosystem of changes which are projected to maintain the doubling of traffic on networks for the foreseeable future. Specific points of discussion include core enabling micro and soon nano-technologies which promise a million-fold increase in computing power with vastly reduced power consumption. The resulting explosion of personalized computing devices with dramatically more memory and processing power, combined with increasingly faster wired and wireless communications are enabling content providers to increasingly use video as a primary means of communication - not just entertainment. The result is a likely sustained continuation of doubling of traffic ever 12-24 months as we've witnessed for the past decade. Part Two of the video takes a more quantitative review of the implications of these trends.
