Online Video's Future

A post by Nate Pagel argues that online video has exploded as a result of three changes: broadband achieving critical mass, rise of easy to use distributions systems like YouTube, and big media's decision to put video content online. He suggests that this sector will continue to grow 25-45% a year globally for the next decade as improvements continue to be made in key areas: Search; Mobile; HTML5 (a new video-friendly format for websites); and Social media assisting in providing metadata and tags for video content (aiding search functions).
