As more and more providers are jumping onto the HD bandwagon, competitors will have no choice but to offer their own HD rollout in order to remain a viable contendor. Akamai's survey is another example of the market's increasing demand for video content with HD quality. As providers look to meet this demand via online video delivery they will increasingly have to contend with issues like network congestion and inefficient bandwidth utilization. Another important finding in the survey shows that trends are moving from IPTV (consumption from the PC) to consumption from a large range of consumer devices like STBs, direct to TV game consoles and more.
Intercast's Multicast-to-Storage based delivery solution provides a video delivery platform that eliminates network congestion and inefficient bandwidth utilization issues. Furthermore, Intercast's flexible solution is fully capable of video delivery to any storage enabled CPE including STBs, game consoles and more.
