MEDIEVAL (MultimEDia transport for mobIlE Video AppLications), a European Project involving 10 partners, was shortlisted for the Future Internet Award 2012, together with two other potential candidates.

MEDIEVAL aims to evolve the Internet's architecture for the efficient support of video traffic, one of the major challenges for the future Internet. This traffic type is foreseen to account for close to 90% of consumer traffic by 2012, with an increase in mobile traffic of more than 200 percent per annum.
