Clemens has posted a very interesting article looking at the forecast for global mobile data traffic. It would appear that Europe may lead North America with regards to mobile data consumption and that Pacific Asia will of course lead everyone…
“The engineers from Cisco are doing a brilliant job in provision the infrastructure to today’s data consumption.
Now, Cisco’s researcher come into play and predict a strong groth of mobile data usage, as we can see today with iPhones (iPhoneOS), gPhones (Android) and soon pPhones (webOS).
The iPhone is said to produce an equivalent data conspumption of 30 2G/3G handsets alltogether. A notebook produces even 15 times more than the iPhone.
They not only present nice graphics to illustrate their arguments, this also indicates pretty much what carriers should be aware of in the near future – until 2013.
According to Cisco, mobile data usage is roughly by 125 TB (TeraBytes) per month, said to be strongly increasing to 2000 TB (2 ExaBytes ) until 2013…”
