Meaning of "looking ahead to"

Hi,

I'm translating a report about the Internet, and have two questions in the sentences below.

1) would you rephase or explain Looking Ahead to? It's too short to me to understand it.

2) what does the three-year life mean?

< Looking Ahead to Q1 2011>
• How did network outages in the Middle East and elsewhere impact Internet traffic?
• What percentage of SSL transactions are using outdated encryption cyphers?
• Over the three-year life of the State of the Internet report, what do the long-term trends for key metrics look like?
• How has traffic grown on mobile network providers around the world?

thank you,
