If we turn the clock back a few years, entrepreneurs like myself and other industry pundits were predicting the rise of mobile data, but those lofty predictions were being met with a healthy degree of skepticism and also pushback that reached the level of ridicule. But, here we are, just a few short years later and, as has been widely reported, mobile data traffic is exploding and is on a path to continue to grow at a compound annual growth rate of more than 100 percent for the next several years.

Based on a recent analysis conducted in conjunction with a tier-one European operator, we observed that more than 40 percent of the Internet traffic on the network is already video, and that more than half of this came from YouTube alone. We also observed that half of the videos watched are viewed only once. The volume of video traffic does put the overall networks under strain, but the strain occurs in hot spots. Vodafone Group recently reported that at peak times, their cells are on average 35 percent busy, but that 7 percent of the cells are experiencing capacity needs in excess of 90 percent. When you consider this collection of information, it becomes clear that any mobile Internet platform worth considering must not only support video, but it needs to be damn good at it.  To be good at it, the mobile Internet platform must have a deep understanding of both the nuances of video and the delivery of video across a broad range of devices. Subscribers don’t care about how many bits are being delivered or in what formats, but they do care about getting a killer user experience.
