In April 2006, Accustream iMedia Research recently came out with a powerful study entitled "Streaming Video 19982010: March To Mainstream", which shows, among other things, that video streams have increased from 284.6 million in 1998 to a whopping 18 BILLION in 2005. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the estimated world population is 6,512,370,258. This means that on average there were about three streams for every single man, woman, and child on earth. This further enhances the claim of video streaming companies such as UnityWorks! Media that online video is an indispensable tool that has- and will- continue to gain traction. Streaming online video can be ignored, but those who do will be at an extreme disadvantage - and sooner than the Mainstream Media (TV and print) would have you think - as consumers flock to the rich media content they want and now expect.
