Sandvine report: Apple takes big bite of streaming video | Canadian ...

WATERLOO, ON ? Sandvine has released its internet traffic trends report, entitled Global Internet Phenomena Report 1H2013, based on data from a selection of Sandvine's 200-plus service provider customers spanning?many countries.

These include North America,?Europe,?Middle East?and?Africa, Caribbean and Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Sandvine's Global Internet Phenomena report is published twice a year.

"We predict from this data that 2013 will be the year long-form video will make its move onto mobile networks," said?Dave Caputo, CEO, Sandvine.?? "The "home roaming" phenomenon, the concept of subscribers voluntarily offloading mobile traffic onto Wi-Fi networks, has continued. This combined with increased consumption of real-time entertainment on mobile networks globally, and the doubling of Netflix traffic on mobile networks in?North America, suggests that users are getting comfortable with watching longer form videos on their handheld devices."

Sandvine's Global Internet Phenomena Report 1H2013 findings:

Global data usage

European mobile monthly usage increased 25% to 311MB in just six months

Skype and other communications applications represent over 7% of traffic in Latin America

Filesharing applications like BitTorrent continue to lose share in many regions but still account for 30% of traffic on Asia-Pacific fixed access networks

Tablets and smartphones consume over 20% of all fixed data in?North America

Audio and video streaming

Apple devices (iPads, iPhones, iPods, AppleTVs, and Macs) represent 45% of all audio and video streaming on North American home networks

YouTube accounts for over 20% of mobile downstream traffic in?North America,?Europe?and Latin America

Netflix mobile data usage share doubled in the last 12 months in?North America

SMS revenue leakage on a tier-one European network

For every subscriber on the network, 10 WhatsApp messages are sent and received each day

3% of all WhatsApp messages sent include a media file such as a photo or video

"This is the tenth year we have issued the Global Internet Phenomena Report and have witnessed the peak of file sharing, the introduction of Skype and other communication apps and the dominance of online entertainment, namely streaming video," said?Mr. Caputo.? "Video continues to be the trend to watch as devices and tablets cater to higher definition content with larger screen sizes enabling the market for longer form video on mobile.? World Cup 2014 next June will be the event that shapes the next evolution of streaming video, as we predict it will be the most streamed event to date."
