Nokia Siemens Networks: Mobile data usage to increase 10,000 percent by2015

Nokia Siemens Networks predicts that by 2015, annual mobile data traffic will reach 23 Exabytes (24,696,061,952 gigabytes) - equivalent to 6.3 billion people each downloading a digital book every day.

Pure capacity is just one issue, however, as the unique properties of mobility, such as intermittent connectivity and shifting location, coupled with the increasing range of smart devices, require mobile broadband networks to be far more intelligent in their handling of traffic growth.
