Wireless data consumption in North America has grown 9 fold since 2012.
This comes as no great surprise, but the numbers are still impressive.
The chart below illustrating this is from the Axios article America's insatiable wireless appetite.
According to the article:
- In 2016, there were 291 million unique wireless subscribers in North America, representing 80% of the region's population.
- There are now more mobile subscriptions in the U.S. than people.
We often point out that every time we make a mobile computing forecast we think it's too high. And so far every time we've made a mobile computing forecast, it's turned out to be too low.
We don't forecast smartphone data usage. Just as good. No way we would have forecast data usage to grow so quickly.
