New research from Bell Labs, the research arm of Alcatel-Lucent , predicts that increasing consumption of video content on mobile devices will push the wired broadband networks that carry this traffic to their absolute limits over the next decade. Bell Labs projections suggest that, by 2020, consumers in the United States alone will access seven hours of video each day — as opposed to 4.8 hours today, and will increasingly consume this additional video on tablets, both at home and on the go.
