Mobile devices will mob the Internet, researchers forecast |
February 09, 2014
Networking experts are running out of superlatives to describe the coming tidal wave/explosion/cataclysm of mobile data traffic.
Cisco last week said mobile data is expected to grow by 11 times in the next four years, reaching 18 exabytes per month by 2018. An exabyte is 1 billion gigabytes.
Mobile data traffic is expected to grow by 61 percent annually into 2018, with the extra traffic from just one year—2017—expected to be triple the entire mobile Internet in 2013.
Cisco anticipates the number of mobile users to reach nearly 5 billion by 2018 (up from 4.1 billion in 2013) and more than 10 billion mobile-ready devices, including machine-to-machine connections by then (up from 7 billion in 2013).To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
