Operators should track holographic video call trends to anticipate possible future broadband disruption
"If holographic communication becomes widely used, holographic video calling (HVC) has the potential to reshape broadband traffic patterns, creating new demands that operators cannot afford to ignore."
Holographic video calling (HVC) has featured in science fiction movies for around 50 years. While 2D video calling has become ubiquitous in consumer and business communications over the past 20 years, holographic calls have yet to become widely available. This could change, however, because HVC technology now exists and research projects are exploring how to make it more accessible to the mass market.
