On June 7^thof this year, Cisco's Visual Networking Index released its annual Global Traffic and Service Adoption forecasts, for the years 2015-2020. The reports predict fixed and mobile IP traffic growth, as well as application trends for the next few years. Some of the topics covered in the report include how fast IP traffic is growing on a global scale and which regions are growing the fastest, as well as how various devices, from smartphones to tablets to the Internet of Things, impact that growth. But the question is, how do these forecasts impact you? That's the topic of our next#CiscoChat, on Thursday, June 30^that 10am PT.

There, we'll joined by several key members of Cisco's SP Thought Leadership Team, including Director Thomas Barnett (@tlb707), Senior Analyst Arielle Sumits (@ariellesumits), Senior Analyst Shruti Jain (@shjain), Senior Analyst and Service Marketing Provider Usha Andra (@AtUandra), and Research Analyst Taru Khurana (@TaruKhurana). They'll answer your questions and address issues such as how broadband speeds are improving to meet consumer demands and the role of Wi-Fi in extending the reach of SP services and offloading cellular bandwidth demand.
