Mobile data traffic in Germany will increase more than 15-fold between 2011 and 2016, according to new research from Solon Management Consulting.
This amounts to an annual volume of 2,100 Petabytes or around 37 billion streams of a 15-minute newscast.
The paper explains that mobile internet usage is becoming widely available, driven by the popularity of smartphones, laptops and tablets. According to Solon, the number of these mobile-connected devices will increase from 28 million in 2011 to around 76 million in 2016.
The majority with almost 70 percent will be smartphones, followed by laptops and tablet computers.
While the average mobile broadband user in Germany consumed less than 0.4 GB per month in 2010, Solon expects mobile data usage to grow to almost 2.3 GB per user per month by 2016. Most of this growth is expected to come from video consumption.
