Mobile data traffic on India’s 3G networks grew 196 percent between December 2011 and December 2012, according to Nokia Siemens Networks. Mobile data traffic on 2G and 3G networks grew 92 percent over the same period, while 2G network traffic grew 66 percent.
According to the study, each 3G user currently consumes close to 300 percent more data on an average than a 2G user. Currently, a 3G user consumes 434 MB per month on an average while a 2G user consumes 115 MB per month.
In the first half of the research period, December 2011 to June 2012, data traffic generated by 3G services increased by 78 percent while that of 2G services increased by 47 percent.
In the second half, July 2012 to December 2012, data traffic generated by 3G services increased by 54 percent while that of 2G services increased by 18 percent.
Lower 3G prices contributed to growth of 3G usage, Nokia Siemens says.
Robust competition probably will ensure that prices continue to drop.
