<\/a><\/p>\nMTN has seen a 29% increase in 3G data volumes and a 123% increase in 4G data volumes over the past year, while maintaining a consistent increase in throughput.<\/p>\n
This is according to Zoltan Miklos, the engineering GM at MTN South Africa, who was speaking at the MyBroadband Underground Mobile Networking conference.<\/p>\n
Miklos said that while he could not reveal MTN’s latest stats for average mobile data traffic per month, as an industry they are seeing growth inline with Cisco’s predictions of a 60% compound annual growth in mobile data traffic.<\/p>\n
He did detail the traffic mix on MTN’s network, however, showing how subscribers use their data.<\/p>\n
The majority of mobile data is spent on streaming media (31%), social media (25%), and browsing (23%), as illustrated in the chart below.<\/p>\n
