Madness is in full swing, and it could impact your company’s network, whether you know it, like it or neither. For example, last season Turner Broadcasting System and CBS Sports experienced a 47 percent increase in online streaming. A whopping 10.3 million hours alone were streamed in the first seven days of the three-week-long tournament. According to a recent MSN survey, employees watching the tournament online will dedicate at least one hour of work time to follow the event this year, whether it be at lunchtime or during work hours. Making matters worse (for network managers, at least) is that this year’s streaming service will be optimized to support more mobile platforms, including Android devices.
