I always look to the editorial team over at GigaOM to have great insights and content on broad technology trends - especially on broadband.
Today, Colin Gibbs' post on Cisco's announcement of the CRS-3 important but there is one insight no one is covering. Bringing all this video to the home at super speeds is great, but what happens inside the home?
According to Cisco, the company predicts that by 2013 online video will drive total Internet traffic to 44 exabytes a month, the equivalent of 11 billion DVDs worth of data traveling over global networks.
While not all 11 billion DVDs will be traveling through my home in Texas, some percentage of that traffic is going to be going through peoples homes and apartments all over the world. Having a single, industry standard in place - G.hn, is going to help in this transition.
Everywire is a blog that will talk about G.hn and related wired networking news.
