Mobile video traffic is expected to double every eight months, reaching 1.3 exabytes per month by 2013. Videos originate from every imaginable source, flow through different and increasingly sophisticated networks, and are presented on a variety of end-user devices.
Providing appealing applications, while navigating this complex and dynamic matrix, at these exploding capacities, is a great challenge for mobile operators and system vendors alike.
Players in the mobile video market are challenged by:
- Variety of video sources: live TV, VOD, home DVR, Internet, over-the-top providers, user-generated, online cameras, etc.
- End-device diversity: legacy handsets, feature phones, large-screen phones, net-books and laptops
- Monetization of managed and over-the-top traffic
- High QoE demand
- Traffic load on the expensive backhaul and radio-access networks
- Costs per session
- Competitive appealing applications, with a short time-to-market
