Are you doing your part?

This week Telecom came up with some interesting estimates. Here's what they said...

Around the world, there is an explosive growth in demand for data, anywhere, anytime. Consider the following estimates:

More than 90% of the world’s data ever in existence has been created in just the past two years.

By 2015 there are likely to be more than 1 trillion connected devices in the world.

Every day, more than 500 million photos are uploaded and shared online.

More than 30 billion pieces of data are added to Facebook every month.

New Zealand mobile data traffic is expected to grow eight-fold by 2017 to over 11,000 terabytes per month – or the equivalent of 32 million texts each second.

More than 2.5 million New Zealanders now have smartphones.

Nearly 80% of New Zealand homes are connected to the internet.

Over the last year, the average Telecom customer household has doubled its monthly broadband data use from around 12GB to 24GB.

The average smartphone user reaches for their phone 150 times a day.

So, are you doing your part to help drive the internet explosion?
