Mobile PCs are Driving Mobile Data Consumption

During 2013, overall mobile data traffic is expected to continue the trend of doubling each year, Ericsson predicts, driven in most regions except North America by mobile-connected PCs.

On average, a mobile PC generates approximately five times more traffic than a smart phone.

By the end of 2012, an average mobile PC generated approximately 2.5 GB per month, versus 450 MB per month produced by the average smartphone.

By the end of 2018, an average a mobile PC will generate around 11 GB per month and a smart phone around 2 GB.

Video traffic on mobile networks and is expected to grow by around 60 percent annually up until the end of 2018, by which point it is forecast to account for around half of total global traffic, according to the latest Ericsson estimates.


About 50 percent of all mobile phones sold in the first quarter of 2013 were smartphones, resulting in a doubling of mobile data traffic between 2012 and 2013,  also says.
