“Today, 13 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute”, writes Chad Hurley, CEO and Co-Founder, YouTube, “and we believe the volume will continue to grow exponentially.”
Our goal is to allow every person on the planet to participate by making the upload process as simple as placing a phone call. This new video content will be available on any screen – in your your living room, or on your device in your pocket.
YouTube and other sites will bring together all the diverse media which matters to you, from videos of family and friends to news, music, sports, cooking and much, much more.
In ten years, we believe that online video broadcasting will be the most ubiquitous and accessible form of communication. The tools for video recording will continue to become smaller and more affordable. Personal media devices will be universal and interconnected.
There is no certainty right now in the advertising market, says Telephony. Time-shifting DVRs, video-on-demand and Internet-based video is undermining traditional ad revenues. All signs point to more targeted and relevant advertising, but progress on that front is being slowed by concerns about consumer privacy and improper use of viewer information.
