“…Thus, this may simply delay a little the reaching of the limit, dubbed 'capacity crunch' (for example Ellis, 2014). The superficially simple solution of deploying ever greater volumes of physical infrastructure also raises concerns about consumption of resources and energy, and so instead emphasis should be on using existing capacity more efficiently (for example Wang and Manner, 2013). In this respect alone, it is by no means obvious that replacing broadcasting with IP networks offers any advantages.…”

According to recent European estimates, the life expectancy of broadcasting as a free-to-air television platform is not more than 15 years. BBC, Yle and the UK regulator Ofcom have reached this conclusion in their reports about the future of news, media distribution and digital terrestrial television (DTT). Although broadcasting is seen necessary until 2030, all three assume that DTT can -under certain conditions -be replaced with delivery using internet protocol (IP). However, it seems that the idea of IPTV taking over DTT is just a sophisticated version of "black box fallacy", driven by the expected growth of the new media ecosystem. The problems in replacing a socio-technological system have largely been neglected.

“…However, it has been shown that optimizing compute-intensive operations leads to only marginal improvements in the overall page load performance [3]. Thus, other solutions such as EEP [12], [13] and PARCEL [14] try to offload resource loading operations to an infrastructure-based proxy in order to improve page load performance. Specifically, in these so- lutions, proxy retrieves the base HTML file of the page and parses it to discover referenced objects, which could be then fetched and transmitted to the client in a bundle (in order to reduce energy consumption of the mobile device).…”

“…We believe that the common approach taken by proxy-based solutions EEP [12], [13] and PARCEL [14] is the state of the art and one of the most complete proxy-based solutions for improving web browsing performance on mobile devices 1 . We call this approach PBB (Proxy Based Browsing) and use it as benchmark to evaluate the performance of WebPro.…”

Abstract-To load a webpage, a web browser first downloads the base HTML file of the page in order to discover the list of objects referenced in the page. This process takes roughly one round-trip time and constitutes a significant portion of the web browsing delay on mobile devices as wireless networks suffer from longer transmission and access delays compared to wired networks. In this work, we propose a solution for eliminating this initial delay, which is transparent to end systems, does not require modifying HTTP, and is well suited for web browsing on mobile devices. Our solution, called WebPro, relies on a network proxy that builds an up-to-date database of resource lists for the websites visited frequently by network users. The proxy resides in the wired part of the network, and hence can afford to pro-actively build and refresh the resource list database periodically. When a request for a webpage comes to the proxy, it simultaneously fetches the base HTML and all referenced objects required to render the webpage using the corresponding resource list stored in the local database. We have built a working prototype of WebPro and have conducted live experiments over WiFi and LTE networks. Our results show an average of 26% reduction in page load time for a mix of popular web sites chosen from categories such as news, sports and shopping. Moreover, in comparison to another best known proxy-based solution, WebPro provides delay reductions ranging from 5% to 51% for a variety of web sites.

Summary Mobile web traffic has now surpassed the desktop web traffic and has become the primary means for service providers to reach out to the billions of end users. Due to this trend, optimization of mobile web browsing (MWB) has gained significant attention. In this paper, we present a survey of techniques for improving the efficiency of web browsing on mobile systems, proposed in the last 6‐7 years. We review the techniques from both the networking domain (eg, proxy and browser enhancements) and the processor architecture domain (eg, hardware customization and thread‐to‐core scheduling). We organize the research works based on key parameters to highlight their similarities and differences. Beyond summarizing the recent works, this survey aims to emphasize the need of architecting for MWB as the first principle, instead of retrofitting for it.
