Netgear PTV1000 Push 2 TV WiFi video card hits the FCC

We’ve long said that wireless video streaming direct from a laptop is one of our dream gadgets, and while most of the gear we’ve seen is based on Wireless USB, it looks like Netgear’s trying something a little different: this PTV1000 Push 2 TV Adapter just hit the FCC database, and it looks to send video from your laptop to your TV over WiFi. It’s apparently built on an upcoming Intel standard called Wireless Display that requires a Core i3, i5, or i7 processor with integrated GMA graphics and Windows 7, but nothing’s been officially announced yet — and what little info we have isn’t great, as the docs warn users that Wireless Display is unsecured and won’t play all DVDs or Blu-rays. That’s not a huge problem, we suppose — all we want to do is beam a Hulu window to our TV simply and easily. We’re assuming we’ll find out a lot more at CES next week, stay tuned.

Widespread availability of online video means less P2P use

P2P use is down this year, possibly thanks to the growing availability of online video. Network equipment provider Sandvine observed these two trends in its “2009 Global Broadband Phenomena” report (via Broadband Reports), noting that there was a “dramatic increase” in realtime video consumption while users are moving away from bulk downloads that they can’t consume right now. While this doesn’t mean P2P is dead just yet, it reflects a shifting user focus as more content providers give people what they want the legal way.

“Realtime entertainment traffic”—which includes video and audio streaming, Flash media, and other various webcasts—grew to more than 26 percent in 2009, according to Sandvine. This reflected a 12.6 percent growth, or a near doubling of the numbers from last year. YouTube, of course, remains a top destination for those looking for video entertainment, and North Americans consume the most videos (per subscriber) globally. Europeans, however, consume the most YouTube minutes out of any region.
