Cisco sees mobile tsunami on the horizon
According to this post on the Wall Street Journal online Cisco thinks wireless-data traffic will double every year through 2014. Part of this increase will be driven by the explosion of handheld wireless devices. Cisco thinks there could be more than 5 billion mobile handheld devices connected to wireless networks by the year 2014.
Mobile video content, which is expected to more than double, will account for almost two-thirds of the world’s wireless data traffic in 2014, making it the highest-growing application category within the report.
I have said it many times on this blog that schools need to prepare for the coming mobile tsunami that will soon be hitting their shores. Students already come to school with computers in their pockets that access the internet without ever touching the schools network. This type of behavior will only increase over the next few years. Schools need to incrementally prepare for this phenomenon.
