Sandvine, a leading provider of intelligent broadband network solutions for fixed and mobile operators today released its Internet traffic trends report, entitled “Global Internet Phenomena Report 1H2013”, based on data from a selection of Sandvine’s 200-plus service provider customers spanning North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Caribbean and Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Sandvine’s Global Internet Phenomena report is published twice a year.
Key Findings and further details
"We predict from this data that 2013 will be the year long-form video will make its move onto mobile networks,” said Dave Caputo, CEO, Sandvine. “The “home roaming” phenomenon, the concept of subscribers voluntarily offloading mobile traffic onto Wi-Fi networks, has continued. This combined with increased consumption of real-time entertainment on mobile networks globally, and the doubling of Netflix traffic on mobile networks in North America, suggests that users are getting comfortable with watching longer form videos on their handheld devices.”
