Mobile Data increasing more and more
I'm not surprised with mobile data with people using smartphones for videos . They said they had 4.07 trillion megabytes by 2015 so imagine how more will that be as time goes on.

Intimidating
The sheer pace of growth is intimidating, when you look at these numbers. On one hand, operators want customers using their networks, it justifies their invetsment. But on the other hand, the volume of traffic and the pace at which it continues to ramp up is geniunely scary.

Re: Intimidating
This is useful and interesting data. I know I don't personally spend that much time on smartphones because I use my laptop. However, I do know people who prefer smartphones for everything.

The data from this research is staggering. It took me a while to give up my landline, but after I did, I wondered why I had hung onto it for so long. I think because it was part of the package. One day, mentioning a landline phone will be like talking about a vinyl record.

Re: Mobile Data increasing more and more
batye - I think the advantage of the phone is that its always with you. Even in the home, it's often easier to just check something on the phone rather than walk across the room, turn on your laptop and look it up. Plus, it's naturally linked to communications and social media. So if someone sends you a link to a video via whatsapp, you'll probably just watch it on the phone itself.

Re: Mobile Data increasing more and more
@Adi yes, and you see that in the way people tend to hold their phones in their hands at all times, particularly those of the younger generation. If I take my phone with me, I pack into a pocketbook. But they want it in hand and not out of sight.

Re: Mobile Data increasing more and more
@Adi I agree with you, although I can't do my work on a phone. I don't think most people can. At least not yeat.
That might change as device makers become more innovative with their form factors.
