Short Summary:
Cisco Systems Inc. is projecting a sixfold jump in Internet traffic between 2007 and 2012, as online video becomes the biggest driver of global data communications. The networking-equipment maker, as part of a study called the Cisco Visual Networking Index, predicts that Internet video - which accounted for 5% of data traffic in 2005 - will represent 30% of total data transfers by the end of this year. That will swell to 50% by 2012, Cisco estimates.

Exellent Whitepaper providing in depth details on the growth and usage of IP networking worldwide. Findings show that bandwidth usage will most likely double every two years mostly as a result of video sharing.
