Vint Cerf, one of the fathers of the Internet and Google’s chief Internet evangelist, talked with Beet.tv’s Andy Plesser about the future of video and broadband at the Personal Democracy Forum in New York. Cerf foresaw that video will be downloaded rather than streamed over time. With gigabit for second speed, users could download an hour of video in 16 seconds. You can download music faster than you can listen to it. Cerf said that broadcasting, rather than downloading a separate copy to every user, is a good delivery model, and that users will have more control over which ads to watch. However, obtaining the bandwidth to download a movie in seconds is a problem. In Addition to this, he says that they need to have as many broadband solutions as possible to evaluate for cost and deploy in the places where they are most effective. Well, planning is the first step but I will be glad if actions are performed
