For the first time ever, he said that on a global basis mobile phones were used more for accessing data than they were to make calls, and that global data traffic exceeded an Exabyte of data. What’s more, if this pace continues he said both North America and Western Europe will exceed an Exabyte each in 2010, and that the total number of mobile broadband connections will exceed the number of fixed connections. In all, there’s 4.6 billion cellphone subscribers worldwide with a penetration rate above 68 percent.
