Comcast: 4 percent of traffic is YouTube

Cory Bergman February 1st, 2007

Comcast Chairman and CEO Brian Roberts said that 4 percent of all data transmitted over Comcast’s high speed internet service is YouTube video. “We don’t view that as a bad thing. We view that as a great thing in terms of the core video business versus a differentiated broadband business,” Roberts said, who said we’ll see and hear more from Comcast Interactive Media in 2007. “The whole focus is video centric and also, on an integrated product experience, what we call cross-platform where you’ll look to Comcast, just as it worked with Triple Play, you’ll look to Comcast to bring you integrated video experience that is working on all devices” Comcast’s Q4 revenue tripled as customers signed up for its discounted “triple play” package.
