Mobile Broadband Traffic To Increase By 2600% In 5 Years


iSuppli reckons global smartphone shipments will double by 2015 and account for more than half of all mobile phones sold. At the same time, mobile broadband traffic volumes will see a 2600% increase in the next five years, say Nokia Siemens Networks’ own figures.

My stance has never bulged since the 90s. Mobile is not a mere platform. It’s not just a strategy. Mobile will be the first screen, the main screen.

The Nokia Siemens numbers are mind-boggling nonetheless:

— a 1000-fold mobile data traffic increase by 2020, and

— a 550% increase in mobile broadband subscribers by 2015.
