Global mobile data traffic is expected to grow 26-fold in five years, warns Cisco

A new study from Cisco suggests that worldwide mobile data traffic will increase 26-fold between 2010 and 2015, reaching 6.3 exabytes per month (or 75 exabytes per year) by 2015. That’s a compound annual growth rate of 92% and is the equivalent of 19 billion DVDs or 75 times the total amount of internet traffic in 2000.  This dramatic rise is being driven by an increase in mobile internet-enabled devices and a growing demand for video services.

Cisco predicts that more than 5.6 billion personal devices will be connected to mobile networks by 2015, with an additional 1.5 billion machine-to-machine connections.

Today, the average mobile connection generates 65MB of traffic per month - but is expected to equivalent generate more than 17 times that amount by 2015. 66% of all mobile data traffic in 2015 is expected to be mobile video.

Suraj Shetty, vice president of Cisco’s worldwide service provider marketing, said “Consumers and business users continue to demonstrate a healthy demand for mobile data services. The fact that global mobile data traffic increased 2.6-fold from 2009 to 2010, nearly tripling for the third year in a row, confirms the strength of the mobile Internet. The seemingly endless bevy of new mobile devices, combined with greater mobile broadband access, more content, and applications of all types - especially video - are the key catalysts driving this remarkable growth.”

Predictions for 2016: Network Function Virtualisation, 4G throttling and video calling

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

A 'recording watch' that links to your smartphone

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

Making mobile websites work better

Device detection and responsive design explained

Mark Bridge writes:

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
