Living room video calling users to surpass 16 million in 2015<\/strong><\/span><\/a> — from instat.com<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

The video calling market can be divided into three sub-markets depending on the device which is being used to make the call: PCs, Mobile, and living room (digital home) devices. \u00a0Living room video calling is a nascent market and currently has a relatively small user base. New NPD In-Stat (www.in-stat) research forecasts that total users will increase from 1.5 million in 2011 to 16.4 million in 2015. Asia Pacific will be the largest market for living room video calling by a significant margin as this is the region with the highest video calling enabled device shipments.<\/p>\n

  1. The massive convergence of the TV, the computer, and the telephone continues<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The current model of higher ed has run it’s course — the model is breaking down<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The cost of obtaining an education must decrease; new business models are and will continue to come to fruition<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. One of those business models is what I call “The Forthcoming Walmart of Education<\/a>“<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. One of the pieces of this “Walmart of Education” will involve “learning from the living room<\/a>“<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. “Students” will be able to watch one device while interacting with another device (though I could also see everything happening via one device as well)<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Learning will likely be more interactive, multimedia-based, available 24x7x365, personalized, customized and backed up by some serious social networking\/learning, analytics<\/a>, artificial intelligence, learning agents, and online-based tutoring<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. “Textbooks” will flow into the living rooms as well as to tablets, smart phones, and other devices; but they will be more like apps where updates will occur as necessary
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Rock-star profs are likely to emerge
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Anyway…”stay tuned”<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
