• Mobile data traffic more than doubled in 2011 and doubled again in 2012
• By the end of 2012, the number of mobile-connected devices exceeded the number of people on earth, and by 2016 there will be 1.4 mobile devices per capita
• Mobile-connected tablets will generate almost as much traffic in 2016 as the entire global mobile network in 2012
• Mobile connections speeds will increase 9-fold by 2016; higher speeds + more bandwidth = more mobile content discovery and usage
