Akamai has released its Q2 2016 State of the Internet report, which shows a massive increase in mobile data traffic over the last few years.<\/p>\n

The Akamai report uses insight from mobile vendor Ericsson, which has a presence in more than 180 countries and a customer base representing more than 1,000 networks.<\/p>\n

The result is a base for calculating world total mobile traffic on 2G, 3G, and 4G networks.<\/p>\n

Mobile data traffic has continued to show strong growth, driven by increased smartphone subscriptions and a continued increase in average data volumes per subscription.<\/p>\n

Video content was the biggest driver of higher average data use by mobile subscribers.<\/p>\n

In the second quarter of 2016, data traffic grew 11% quarter over quarter and 55% year over year.<\/p>\n

Looking at a five-year period, cumulative voice-traffic growth was 42%, while cumulative data-traffic growth was just over 1,600%.<\/p>\n
