The Sms has just turned 19 today, and its hard to belive that something which we have taken for granted today had its origin in 1993 since the first text message was sent from a computer to a
mobile phone, and 18 years since the first phones were produced that allowed
people to send text messages to one another.
In its annual Global Mobile
Data Traffic Forecast, Cisco looked
at the state of worldwide mobile networks and predicted the global mobile data traffic
more than doubled last year, increasing 133 percent. It said traffic will grow
similarly in 2012, climbing 110 percent, and it will have increased 18-fold by
2016.
By that year, over half of mobile
traffic will come from Asia Pacific and Western Europe, with the biggest gains
coming from the Middle East and Africa, where traffic will have increased 36
times over, Cisco said
