Mobile Web to Grow 26X by 2015 According to Cisco
The Register: Over 5.6 billion mobile devices will access the Web with 75 exabytes of data requests by 2015, according to a Cisco report.
"Seventy-five exabytes is one steaming heap of data. Cisco refers to it as being equivalent to "19 billion DVDs or 536 quadrillion SMS text messages." We prefer to divide that number by 140 Twitter characters and see it as representing around 7,142,860,000,000,000 tweets."
"Contributing to that 2015 mobile-network load, Cisco says, will be 5.6 billion "personal devices", as well as 1.5 billion device-to-device connections. Sixty-six per cent of that load, Cisco predicts, will be mobile video."
"The report notes that today's average mobile hook-up accounts for 65MB of network traffic per month. In 2015, however, that number is projected to rise to 1,118MB."
