Cisco believes that Video is the most disruptive technology in networking for consumers, service providers, and businesses for the years to come. Our strategy is to enable any-to-any capabilities (any content, any device, any place, anywhere, anytime), deliver end-to-end systems (complete solutions), and drive innovation into the network as it evolves from intranets, extranets, to medianets (converged networks enhanced to optimize the delivery of rich media). This presentation covers our vision, our strategy, and our current portfolio of video systems. It also describes Cisco's innovation in medianet technologies that will shape the evolution of our core network products
