UK firm Coda Research Consultancy forecasts that in the U.S. alone mobile handset data traffic will grow from 8 petabytes/month this year to 327 petabytes/month in 2015. That amounts to a 117 percent compound annual growth rate. (See Tech Crunch for full story here)

Going Mobile
I’m going home and when I wanna go home
I’m goin’ mobile
Well, I’m gonna find a home
And we’ll see how it feels
Goin’ mobile, keep me movin’
(Pete Townshend, Lyrics by Who; The Who At Kilburn: 1977 Blu-ray)
