9% of Mobile Video Users Consume 38% of Bandwidth

An analysis by Bytemobile suggests that nine percent of mobile subscribers consuming video content represent 38 percent of total data volume on the network. About 10 percent of mobile data users generate approximately 90 percent of total traffic, the analysis also finds. But you might be quite surprised about some of the other findings.

Bytemobile measured the video data volume of the top three percent of videos requested on the network, representing about three million videos in all. The analysis also suggests that 40 percent of total video data volume on wireless networks is generated by just the top three percent of videos.

Also, though Internet videos average approximately five minutes in length, users watch them for an average of less than 60 seconds. In fact, the majority of mobile data subscribers watch only the first few seconds of any given video.

The Bytemobile data includes devices such as Android and  iPhone devices, iPads and laptop data.
