The Rise of the Gigabyte Phone

It might not seem obvious today, but we might soon be consuming nearly one gigabyte of data every month on our smartphones. That isn't much by wireline standards. But it is a pretty steep increase for smartphone users who have been consuming 200 megabytes a month or less.

This is a similar growth pattern we saw on wired broadband networks; the faster the speeds, the more data we consumed.
