Paul Palumbo, Research Director, AccuStream iMedia Research, Seaside, CA, USA -- “There has been consistent audience stream and revenue growth driven primarily by broadband users, but also by a more educated and existing user base.

They are forecast to grow by another 48% in 2005 to over 21 billion.”

 Present Day Streaming Media - How the Stream Became a Wave
Richard Mavrogeanes, Chief Technology Officer and Founder, VBrick Systems, Wallingford, CT -- “There is an awful lot of use of streaming video inside the enterprise. … Most of the streaming that we think about and hear about has to do with, again, service provisioning – sending content to a residential subscriber, for example. But as we begin to think about how IP networks are deployed there is an equal opportunity, and need as it turns out, to have just as many sources of video as there are receivers of video.”
