Research published by the GSMA shows that the number of mobile devices will grow 100% within the next ten years from more than 6 billion today to 12 billion in 2020. In addition, the total number of connected devices - from laptops to remote monitoring equipment - is expected to increase from approximately 9 billion today to more than 24 billion in 2020.
The GSMA says this’ll offer mobile operators a worldwide revenue opportunity of nearly $1.2 trillion by 2020.
