Is there any reason you left out ViralTracker? Is it because they are not a start-up anymore?

  1. P2P based video distribution technology will become the norm. It will get licensed, and the companies holding patents will laugh their way to the bank (or shoe-boxes, given the trust levels for banks)

  2. Technology companies will not dominate the video distribution business. Media companies will.

  3. Google and/or Apple will rethink their server based distribution technology, given the green pressures.

  4. Integrated “living room IP” solutions for the masses (think TV) will be postponed until economy improves.

  5. CE Chip companies will see Intel as threat – and will rally around to keep it away.

  6. Apple will rethink Flash

  7. A major media house will launch a hot video show, exclusive to the internet (think reality TV)

  8. Media companies will open up tonnes of content for free in SD resolution – from 3 years or older movies/tv shows to 1 day or older sports …

  9. Ad spend percentages will not change (from 2008) for different media. Total spends will.

  10. Video mashups will emerge (as tech demonstrators, if nothing more).

They always, ALWAYS screw it up and leave plenty of room for start-ups to wipe them out.

This will play out the same way with video – its not the content that keeps them at the top its their monopoly of distribution channels.

I agree with Adam that this will play out in the same manner as music and the written word. The yet unkown tech start-up will win in the end while the suits and egos of the big media companies will sit around with their thumbs up their overpaid asses.
