From 2007 to 2012, “traffic will increase sixfold,” Robert Pepper, a vice president of Cisco, told the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Egypt’s Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.<\/p>\n

“It’s growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46 percent and this is being driven by video,” he said. “Video is the driver. Make no question about that.”<\/p>\n

Video overcomes barriers of language, local content and literacy, he said, allowing users to interact more easily with the Internet.<\/p>\n

Pepper was addressing the IGF’s fourth and final day at a “Preparing the Young Generations in the Digial Age: A Shared Responsibility” session, with Egypt’s First Lady Suzanne Mubarak among those attending.<\/p>\n

The Sharm el-Sheikh forum brought together more than 1,500 representatives of government, civil society, advocacy groups and the private sector from over 100 countries to discuss the future of the Internet.<\/p>\n
