This month's seminar focuses on podcasting. According to Forrester Research podcasting should have 12.3M listeners by 2010. Globix's media services unit will lead a discussion about what is needed to podcast, how it compares to other methods of delivering media content over the network, and its overall impact on the Internet. They will bring their expertise in hosting and distribution and the ability to leverage 1,200 peering agreements to deliver podcasts and other audio/video broadcasts. Invisible Hand Networks will bring their expertise in bandwidth market trends to a presentation about podcasting's business models and traffic patterns relative to those of online streaming of audio and video, internet gaming and entertainment software delivery.
