Juniper Research forecasts that almost 50 percent of data traffic generated by mobile phones, tablets and other 3G or 4G connected devices will be offloaded to Wi-Fi and small cell networks in 2013.
Whether those estimates are reasonable is the issue, at least in part because not all smart phone or tablet traffic that uses Wi-Fi was actually "offloaded" from a mobile network.
In some markets, though, close to that amount of traffic could conceivably be handled by small cells or Wi-Fi.
