Internet Video Overtakes TV, Video How’s Are The Next Big Thing On The Internet

Video killed the radio star, as the old song goes. Now, online video could make a killing for network gear makers over the next few years.

When IBD recently asked Cisco Systems CEO John Chambers to offer some predictions about the future of technology, the networking pioneer didn’t mince words.

“If I had to make one big bet on the future, I would bet on video,” Chambers replied. “I think video is a major killer application, and the combination of video and networking will be a huge driver for how we will communicate in the future.”

In fact, Chambers has already made a big bet on the future of video. In March, Cisco (NasdaqGS:CSCO – News) said it would pay $590 million for Pure Digital Technologies, makers of the Flip mini camcorder, designed to make sharing video online easier.

Video growth has continued “at a rapid pace” even through the recession, says Mark Sue, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets. In a recent research note, he cites data from market tracker ChangeWave showing that Baby Boomers now spend more time online, 12.9 hours per week, than watching TV, 11.8 hours per week.

“Video services (Hulu, YouTube, CinemaNow, etc.) are giving consumers even more choice for video consumption, and network traffic growth may mean more network infrastructure will be required,” Sue wrote.

Web-based entertainment and online video sites such as Google’s (NasdaqGS:GOOG – News) YouTube are creating a big spike in demand for network bandwidth. Total time spent watching online videos shot up 49% last month over the year before, to 188.7 minutes per user, according to Nielsen Online.

In addition, more companies are holding virtual meetings online. This surge in video content plays to Cisco’s strength as the market leader in network routers and switches that guide Internet traffic.

Bob Metcalfe, creator of the ethernet standard for local area networks and co-founder of 3Com (NasdaqGS:COMS – News), is a video true believer. Now a partner with Polaris Ventures, Metcalfe sits on the board of Avistar (NasdaqCM:AVSR – News), a small video conferencing firm.

“The next big thing is the video Internet,” Metcalfe said.

A new white paper out this month from Cisco highlights the rapid buildup of this video-rich future. Global Internet traffic will increase fivefold by 2013, according to Cisco’s Visual Networking Index. Over that span, total traffic of video communications — including video messages and calls — will increase tenfold, the study says.

Cisco contends that all forms of online video together will exceed 90% of global consumer Web traffic by 2013. That includes Web-based TV, video on demand, Internet videos and peer-sharing videos. And by 2013, nearly two-thirds of all mobile data traffic will involve videos.

Cisco management sounded bullish about the prospects for video at a recent stock conference hosted by William Blair & Co., according to Jason Ader, a William Blair analyst. He rates Cisco stock as market-perform or hold.

Juniper Networks (NasdaqGS:JNPR – News) also stands to benefit, Ader says. He rates Juniper as market outperform or buy.

“Video, broadly speaking, is going to be the biggest driver of bandwidth and therefore network equipment over the next 10 years,” Ader said.

Cisco predicts a coming state of “consumer hyperconnectivity.” This includes active digital multitasking, such as listening to online music while surfing the Web or talking on the phone. In addition, passive networking might include downloading movies and shows in the background while watching other network TV.

Experts say this overlap is stretching the theoretical TV day — from 24 hours in a traditional broadcast schedule to 36 hours now. And that will grow to 48 hours by 2013.

More executives are conducting virtual meetings these days as well. The need to save on travel costs could drive future growth for firms such as Polycom (NasdaqGS:PLCM – News), a maker of video collaboration systems.

Tandberg of Norway is number one in video conferencing, followed by Polycom, according to Ader. He rates Polycom as market perform.

Michael Kourey, chief financial officer of Polycom, played up the video trend at the recent William Blair stock conference in Chicago, Ader says.

“(Polycom) management expressed confidence in its ability to return to growth in video ‘in the foreseeable future,’” Ader wrote in a research note.

The number of conferences that executives plan to attend this year has fallen by 50% to 60% over last year, according to Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry.

At the same time, the use of online conferencing systems such as Cisco’s WebEx or GoToMeeting from Citrix Systems is up 400% over last year, Chowdhry says.

“Oil prices are very high, and people are getting more green-conscious,” he said. “Many feel you can accomplish a lot just by videoconferencing.”

And consumers crave more high-definition downloads of their favorite video clips, TV shows, movies and games.

“This bodes well for companies that compete in these areas,” Chowdhry said

Keith Spear, CEO of KES Systems, Inc believes that the next big thing on the Internet will be video demonstration, visual product reviews and video instructions, from the extremely simply to the complex. For everything from how to use it to how it works.

Noteworthy, for the first time every more people spent time watching videos on the Internet than they spent watching TV.

Johnny Petraglia Wins His First Senior Title of the Season and His 7th Senior Title Using the Brunswick Wild Ride Bowling Ball

After a record-breaking qualifying run, Brunswick Pro Staffer, Johnny Petraglia, won the PBA Senior Sun Bowl Tour in The Villages, Fla.

Petraglia used a Wild Ride throughout the tournament to win the championship match and the seventh Senior title of his career.

PBA Hall of Famer Johnny Petraglia of Jackson, N.J., won the PBA Senior Sun Bowl in The Villages at Spanish Springs Lanes for his first Senior Tour title of the season defeating fellow lefty Hugh Miller 278-225, it was Petraglia’s seventh Senior Title.

Even though the PBA failed to recognize the past accomplishments of Johnny Petraglia in their article, it is newsworthy to note that Petraglia has won 14 regular PBA Titles, including the prestigious PBA National Championship in 1980, bringing his total PBA Titles to 21, a mark achieved by only a hand full of players. Congratulations Johnny.

Petraglia set four scoring records (6 and 12-game qualifying pin-fall and 36-game pin-fall with and without bonus pins). He had a 13-5 match play record which earned him the top qualifying position for the stepladder finals.

“It’s very gratifying to bowl this well throughout the whole tournament and bring home a win,” the 62-year-old Petraglia said. “It would have been very disappointing to be the top qualifier and lose it all in one match.

It was in last year’s PBA Senior U.S. Open that Petraglia lead the entire tournament only to be denied the title because of the antiquated step ladder finals still used by the PBA.

Could you possibly image Phil Mickelson leading a 72 hole golf tournament by 10 strokes only to lose it on one playoff hole. Certainly exciting and nerve racking, but not a measure of the best golfer on the course that week. Oh well, if bowling keeps doing what it has been doing for the last 30 years we keep getting the same results, wait, that’s the problem we are. That’s another story.

Brunswick Siege Bowling Ball

An all new core and coverstock with an asymmetrical core that will blow you away using your favorite drilling layout.

UPDATE: 06/07/09

Click Layout Image to Enlarge

The new Brunswick Siege is the first in their new series of Pro Performance balls and features the new MACE asymmetrical core as well as the new solid Recoil coverstock.

Pin to PAP (4 1/2″ over 1/2″ up) – 5″
Mass Bias – 2″ right of Center Line

Surface Preparation – Left at Box Finish

What I Was Looking For In This Layout: We’ve been hearing that Brunswick was looking to create something that was very aggressive and this was that ball. I was looking for this ball to really move on the backends for me.

What I Ended Up With In This Ball Layout: I’d have to say that this layout gave me a great look on heavy oil. I tested this ball on a modified house shot with a higher volume of oil. The Brunswick Siege really starts gripping the lane early because I left the surface at box finish.

With the combination of the new M.A.C.E. core and Solid Recoil coverstock, this ball generates a ton of reaction and a very large flare around the ball. I would have to say that this ball flares nearly 7″ for me.

On the heavier oiled condition that I tested the Brunswick Siege on, I stood on the 30 board and stroked the ball out to around 8 at the breakpoint. With the box surface and strong midlane reaction, this ball had no problems at all getting back to the pocket and exploding the pins. I even left a few nine pins which isn’t a bad thing with the matte surface.

To see what this ball could do, I moved right on the approach to try and play a tighter line to the pocket. This line worked well too as the ball did not seem to have any difficulty clearing the heads.

As the lanes broke down, the surface at box finish proved to be too much for me. This is going to be a great addition to my bag for heavy oil. For lighter to medium oiled shots, all you would need to do is hit the coverstock with some Brunswick Factory Finish Polish and it would react great on the backends.

I think Brunswick did a great job in creating the Siege with the new M.A.C.E. core and wrapping it with the Solid Recoil coverstock. I recommend this ball to anyone in search of more hook in heavy oil.
