“ We will have access to more information and that information will be primarily video-based in the
near future ”

ensure video can be delivered to the user . “ We are toying around with a lot of this at the moment ,” says Zeller . “ Is it ready to launch right now ? I would say no . But it will come in one way or the other .”
The future of video streaming is not quite as crystal clear as the 4k video we enjoy today . There are hundreds of possibilities : theoretically anything with a display will become a candidate for video in the years ahead , with IoT devices sending video traffic to and from the home .
“ This all needs to be served out of one platform to the end consumer , otherwise you have too many apps and that ' s not going to work . But you will again see aggregation of this in a single user experience - on different devices .”
Video will become even more central to Vodafone ’ s business and our lives .
“ For us at the Centre of Video Excellence , video will of course be at the core of what we focus on . But it also requires network and infrastructure , whether we ’ re looking at 5g or 6g becoming ever faster and more reliable ,” says Zeller .
“ But what it really comes down to is that we will have access to more information and that information will be primarily video-based in the near future . That ’ s why we at Vodafone are putting a lot of effort into making that a reality and ensuring we can achieve our goals .”
