The US Census Department has awarded VBrick a contract worth nearly half a million for video hosting and streaming services. This is just the latest example of the rush of government agencies to online video.
Streaming video offers many advantages to government users. Agencies save money by conducting virtual meetings; departments share internal knowledge through video libraries; and towns broadcast local meetings and news over their web sites.
For businesses and government alike online video is becoming a commodity, not a novelty. As more companies embrace it, those that don't will be left behind. As a video producer, it's a trend I'm happy to see.
