Google's Vint Cerf, 'Father of the Internet': "Online Video Will Be Distributed in Download Mode"
Vint Cerf, a computer scientist who is most often called the "father of the Internet," says that the popularity and demand for online video will mean that the distribution will eventually be done "in download mode," not streaming, which is pervasive today.
Vint is basically arguing for video being pre-delivered to cheap storage with multicasting as the scalable delivery protocol - a perfect description of Intercast's VideoXpress delivery platform and Multicast-to-Storage (M2S) distribution technology.
