1.3 Exabytes of Mobile Video Consumed in 2017

Portable laptop and netbook users will consume 1.3 exabytes of video content per month by 2017, a sixty-fold increase over 2009, says Coda Research Consultancy. If that forecast proves correct, mobile video will account for nearly 75 percent of all mobile traffic.

The top region for video consumption will be Asia Pacific, which will account for just over half (53 percent) of all video traffic globally. In contrast, Europe will account for 26 percent of all global video traffic, and North America 14 percent.

The Asia Pacific region will be so prominent because mobile broadband will be for many the primary or exclusive way of getting access to the Internet, the company says.

The report shows that two thirds of global traffic using by portables will be on Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks by 2017.
