The rapid growth of Internet bandwidth 3G just four years to meet demand

This year, the media, experts and operators under their own strong '3G access with broadband Internet "concept has been widely accepted, many Internet users to 3G as a substitute for wired broadband, for which charges complained that 3G is too high, resulting from their "pleasure 3G.

This is misleading: the 3G bandwidth is completely shared, bandwidth a few megabytes, how many people simply can not simultaneously support high-speed Internet access, the face of growing Internet traffic, operators must consider is how to carefully plan to use the bandwidth. However, for 3G mobile Internet, there are well-known experts recently rounded on a "limited unlimited flow" perspective, in total disregard of the 3G bandwidth is extremely limited while demand was that the rapid growth. Again I find it necessary to explain some basic facts so that we wear jugements.

first 5 years 300 times, rapid mobile Internet. Since the introduction of Mobile Internet has experienced rapid growth in traffic. 5 last year, users of mobile Internet has increased 15 times, while Internet traffic has increased 300 times. In recent years, Internet traffic has maintained a growth rate close to 300%, and still see signs of ralentissement.

rapid growth of traffic in wireless network operator has put enormous pressure. In fact, China Mobile Many provinces are busy wireless network, there much more than the supply pressure alert line in desperate need of expansion to large échelle.

Secondly, 3G is not communism, not to follow the increasing demand for bandwidth increases. Despite claims current penetration rate of mobile Internet has exceeded 50%, but nearly half the traffic of users of less than 1 MB, the bandwidth consumption of only 0.5%. Flow over 20MB, and only 20% of the Internet population, representing 10% of the total. If the 3G era addition to the request of the user's Internet traffic is 20 MB, then in accordance with the laws of the past, with a median increase 20 times, all traffic will increase by 200 fois.

3G hundreds of billions, but only to an increase of ten times the bandwidth it, simply can not follow the speed of bandwidth demand to increase the rate of increase. In compliance with the current annual growth rate of almost 300%, 3G bandwidth, most will be sufficient for 3-4 years only. In other words, hundreds of billions of investment can be used to meet demand growth in recent years. Faced with this situation, operators must carefully plan their hands in Internet bandwidth, to avoid rapid depletion of precious bandwidth. The Last year, for the development of G3 on the network card, a large number of places and produces a lot of time and billing, which causes many network adapters that tens of dollars a month income, but at 5 GB per month is more traffic, far more than cable broadband. If operators have adopted the expert "limited unlimited flow" of the proposal, then it is clear that the concentration of traffic will inevitably increase substantially. Right now , so 1% of users may feel a "good advantage of the 3G, but another 99% of users may not even have basic mobile Internet has become a problem.
