Akamai has released its State of the Internet Q2 2015 report, which shows that global mobile data traffic continues to grow at a rapid rate.<\/p>\n

The Akamai report uses insight from mobile vendor Ericsson. Ericsson has a presence in more than 180 countries and its customer base represents more than 1,000 networks, enabling it to measure mobile voice and data volumes.<\/p>\n

The result is a representative base from which world mobile traffic on 2G, 3G, and 4G networks (not including DVB-H, Wi-Fi, and Mobile WiMAX) can be calculated.<\/p>\n

Data traffic grew around 15% between the first and second quarters of 2015, and increased 55% between the second quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2015.<\/p>\n

The chart below shows the growth of mobile data and the stagnation of voice traffic over the last few years.<\/p>\n
