VING 4G More interestingly, the growth rates of early desktop Internet access in the 1990s (as measured with AOL and Netscape adoption) in comparison with mobile usage growth in the 2000s (as measured primarily by following Apple devices: iPhone/iTouch) leads to the following observations. Adoption of Apple devices is almost 11 times faster than AOL and several times faster than Netscape. The 3G services act as an inflection point in helping enable access to more than 20% of cellular users to help accelerate mobile Internet access. This proves to be inspirational for LTE operators as LTE services could serve to take mobile Internet usage acceleration to the next level. This is especially true with the increasing popularity of services that demand higher bandwidths, like video, which NSN forecasts will account for 60% of all mobile traffic in 2013. The IDC Predications 2014 (http://www.idc.com/research/Predictions14/index.jsp)furthercement some of the observations made in the earlier sections: Smartphone and tablet sales are outgunning PC sales by nearly 2.5 times or 250%. Apple continues to see strong iPhone and iPad sales to retain a value advantage of nearly double its competition, but it still is outnumbered by Android devices with a volume of one- third or a ratio of 1:3. Google Play Store catches up with the App Store to narrow down revenue differences. Cloud spending is expected to surge to nearly $100 billion, for a growth rate of 25%. Data volumes are expected to reach 6 trillion terabytes, pushing the spending on big data analytics by 30%. The Internet of Things (IoT) remains very promising, with 30 billion endpoints and $8.9 trillion in revenue expected by 2020. The ITU-T ICT facts and figures for 2014(http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Statistics/Pages/facts/default.aspx) add some very interesting insights into some of the items we have been discussing in the preceding section. Some of these include: There are 2.3 billion mobile broadband subscriptions, with developing countries contributing up to 55%. Mobile
