Mobile data traffic tipped to grow 32 fold by 2015

Cisco is forecasting Australian mobile data traffic to more than double every year until 2015: a 32 fold increase to a mind numbing 150,000 terabytes per month.
Cisco says: "Two major global trends are driving these significant mobile data traffic increases: a continued surge in mobile-ready devices such as tablets and smart phones, and widespread mobile video content consumption."
The Cisco study predicts that by 2015, more than 5.6 billion personal devices will be connected to mobile networks, and there will also be 1.5 billion machine-to-machine nodes. Mobile video is forecast to represent 66 percent of all mobile data traffic by 2015, increasing 35-fold from 2010 to 2015. Mobile traffic originating from tablet devices is expected to grow 205-fold from 2010 to 2015, the highest growth rate of any device category tracked.
"Mobile network-connected tablets will generate more traffic in 2015 (248 petabytes per month) than the entire global mobile network in 2010 (237 petabytes per month)," Cisco said. The same will be true of machine-to-machine (M2M) traffic, which will reach 295 petabytes per month in 2015."
