Netflix + YouTube = 55% of Internet traffic

Netflix + YouTube = 55% of Internet traffic | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
Netflix is the biggest bandwidth hog, making up more than 37% of all downstream traffic during peak hours. Google's YouTube is a distant second, with about...
Farid Mheir's insight:

Video now accounts for more than half of Internet traffic. This is inline with other bandwidth information I have seen.


WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

Internet used to be about browsing websites and chatting with friends on Facebook. Today it is all about viewing video which means telcos should really be scarred about cord cutters - people moving away from cable or satellite TV. In the future, I assume the proportion of bandwidth will continue to increase.


With billions of internet-connected devices showing up in the next 10 years, will IoT become the bandwidth hog then?

Mary Meeker can synthesize trends, pinpoint interesting numbers and research, and deliver hundreds of slides like nobody's business.
Farid Mheir's insight:

As Mary Meeker says in her intro, this presentation probably violates all rules that communication experts drill into our heads, yet it is very effective because

1- the slides are made available for us to review after

2- we can pause and rewind

3- she stresses what's important: the rest we get by looking at the slides


Love it.

Bot traffic is up to 61.5% of all website traffic. Is Google winning the war on spam?
Farid Mheir's insight:

I don't like the analysis as it makes it appears as if the web is being overtaken by hackers and impersonators. 


What is interesting is the steady rise of non-human traffic. With a larger and larger number of devices being connected to the Internet - from cars to watches to refrigerators - we can expect this trend to continue in the years to come.
