Akamai Technologies<\/a> released its Q4 2012 State of the Internet Report, revealing that Android<\/a> and iOS<\/a> users consume more data per month than their counterparts using Windows<\/a>, BlackBerry<\/a>, and Symbian<\/a> mobile operating systems.<\/p>\n

Based on data gathered from the Akamai Intelligent Platform, the State of the Internet report provides insight into key global statistics including mobile data usage and mobile platform popularity.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the largest average per subscription traffic volumes can be measured on Android smartphones, ranging up to 2.2 GB per month. This is on networks where high-end models dominate.<\/p>\n

However, when operators focus on the low-end Android segment the average usage is usually smaller than for iPhones.<\/p>\n

There are large differences between traffic volumes of phones with different versions of Windows OS.<\/p>\n

The average values might increase significantly in the future when Windows 8 devices outnumber older Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 devices.<\/p>\n
