Some Comments on Growth in Mobile Data
According to Morgan Stanley analyst Mary Meeker (who has now left the
firm), by 2015 more users will connect to the Internet over mobile
devices than desktop PCs. Gigaom, Apr 2010
Global mobile data traffic in 2010 (237 petabytes per month) was more
than three times greater than total global Internet traffic in 2000 (75
petabytes per month). Cisco, Feb 2011
Smartphone customers (526 million, 2010) use more data than non-
smartphone customers, and iPhone customers use more data than other
smartphone customers. According to Morgan Stanley analyst Mary Meeker,
the average cellphone customer usage pattern is 70-30 voice-to-data but
the average iPhone customer is 45-55 voice-to-data. Gigaom, Apr 2010
