  1. According to Cisco, consumer video traffic will reach 69 percent of all global internet traffic by 2017, up from the hefty 57 percent that it is currently.
  2. The number one site for viewing videos is, not surprisingly, YouTube, which claims more than one billion unique visitors every month. That’s second only to Facebook.
