Flash is evolving as the most exciting segment of this market -- Flash content can reach more than 98% of all computers and it is becoming the dominant video format on the Internet. Its market share is growing rapidly. Recent reports published by AccuStream iMedia Research* show that Flash video streams served have increased 95% in 2006 and Flash now constitutes a 97% share of the user-generated video (UGV) segment, which grew 429% in 2006.

The ability of Flash to integrate data, motion graphics, video and two-way conversations are also making Flash the format of choice for interactive content. Until now, the Flash streaming server solutions have proved inadequate in meeting the growing demands of the market.
