Posted by PCWorld
Global Internet Protocol traffic will reach an annual rate of 1.3 zettabytes in 2016 as more people connect more devices and download more video over the Internet, Cisco Systems predicted Wednesday.
With global IP traffic surpassing the zettabyte (1 billion terabyte) threshold, there will be more Internet traffic in 2016 than in all years up to 2012, said Doug Webster, senior director for service provider marketing at Cisco.
"It is just a staggering amount of growth facing global networks," he said during the unveiling of Cisco's Visual Networking Index Forecast for 2011 to 2016.
The Internet traffic in 2016, at 110 exabytes per month, will be 10 times the traffic in 2008, Webster said. Glob[...]

BoxPAY Debuts Its Carrier Billing Platform For Smart TVs
Posted by TechCrunch
Betting big on the future monetization opportunities to be found in the “smart TV” ecosystem is boxPAY, a company which is now bringing the carrier billing option to TV apps and services. With boxPAY, consumers can pay for Smart TV apps or make in-app purchases by charging those purchases to their mobile phone, no registration or credit card required. Instead, the purchase would show up on the customer’s next monthly bill from their mobile operator.

Posted by TechCrunch
I’m not a professional musician, but apparently it’s a headache for artists to publicize their tourdates on the myriad number of websites and apps that cater to music lovers. Not only is there Facebook and Twitter, but there’s YouTube, Spotify, Soundcloud and Hype Machine.
Enter Songkick, a concert promotion startup that’s backed by Sequoia Capital and Index Ventures. They have tons of those little widgets across the web that show when your favorite band is in town. Now they’re trying to make it easier for musicians to manage promotions themselves.

Tim Cook: What I learned from Steve Jobs
Posted by VentureBeat
Apple chief executive Tim Cook turned serious and emotional when he talked about his late mentor and boss, Steve Jobs, at the All Things D conference today.

“It was one of the saddest days of my life,” Cook said, “the day that he died. And as much as you could predict that, it really hit me.”
On what he learned from Jobs, Cook said, “I learned that focus is key. You can only do so many things well, and you should cast aside everything else. I think he taught all of us that life is fragile, and we[...]
