Video accounts for 50 percent of Verizon Wireless’ network traffic today and by 2017 the carrier estimates video will make up two-thirds of all traffic over the network.

Well, it’s not apples to apples. A web page may be 100k while a video might be 5,000,000k. So of course total traffic is skewed towards size-intensive filetypes like video.
