Content delivery solutions provider Mirror Image Internet has revealed just how much dynamic the current streaming mobile video market is by revealing a 100% increase in traffic over its network since the beginning of 2010.

The company supports video streaming to a number devices-such as the iPhone, Droid, Blackberry, Wii, PS3, IPTV and HTML5 Streaming for iPad-and is focussing on expanding its network to support video delivery to smartphones.

Its Multi-Protocol Streaming Service now supports HTML5 streaming that plays directly in the Safari browser on an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad devices as well as on Snow Leopard using the HTML5 video tag for both video-on-demand and live streaming services.

With the increase in mobile streaming, Mirror Image claims that streaming traffic (both fixed and mobile) now represents over 70% of total traffic on its global network, evidence it believes of a dramatic shift in content strategy.

That is to say, Mirror Image has seen significant growth opportunities to expand the capabilities of its network to meet growing demand from content producers who are increasingly relying heavily on streaming video to reach customers and audiences. To this end, over the last six months, the company has invested an additional $3 million into its streaming network, purchasing new streaming servers, storage capacity for large objects as well as increasing bandwidth capacity for high definition video.

Explained James G. Hart, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Mirror Image Internet, "Our customers are running complex and multifaceted campaigns, of which streaming plays an integral role. Our ability to offer a network with the capacity and diversity to meet any video need- internet or mobile- while maintaining our commitment to customer service has fueled our growth and ongoing investments in our network."
