Growth of Mobile Traffic

By admin

“As smartphones like the iPhone and Android take over the mobile Web, the amount of data traffic going over cellular networks is expected to grow 40-fold over the next five years.”

Mobile Data Traffic Expected To Rise 40-Fold Over Next Five Years

Some interesting comments:

US traffic growth will compound at an annual growth rate of 117%

“A lot of that data will come in the form of mobile Web browsing, with the biggest contributor expected to be mobile video.”

“By 2015, mobile video will account for 68.5 percent of all mobile data usage in the U.S.”

“95 million mobile handset subscribers in the U.S. will be watching video on their phones in five years out of a total of 158 million mobile internet users.”

I know many can’t imagine video going phonelier but web browsing in HTML5 will change the dynamics.
