Cisco CEO John Chambers delivered a presentation that focused on the future of video over networks, during which he predicted that 90 percent of all Web traffic in the near future will be video-based, and explained that Cisco is getting ready to make these video experiences as consumer-friendly as possible. Cisco has purchased several companies to pursue its video initiative, including Pure Digital (maker of the handheld Flip camera line) and more recently, videoconferencing giant Tandberg. Chambers described new video in-home telepresence technology that Cisco plans to trial this spring, through a partnership with Verizon. He also discussed the back-end support Cisco is providing for NBC’s Olympic coverage. (Watch for athletes and commentators to shoot footage on Flip cameras and post online.)
