摘要

Mobile data traffic from PC modems and routers is forecast to increase fourfold between 2010 and 2014, according to a new Research Brief from ABI Research. This year some 2,000 petabytes of data will be sent and received, a figure that will rise to about 8,000 petabytes in 2014.rnThe regional distribution of this trafficrndemand highlights global economic trends as well. Jeff Orr, senior analyst, mobile devices, commented, "Today, and for most of our forecast period, modems and routers in Western Europe will generate the highest levels of mobile data traffic, but by an ever-decreasing margin. In 2014, we expect the Asia-Pacific region to overtake Western Europe as the largest source of demand for this traffic."
