"The impact of AI on traffic is unknown; we suspect it will increase user engagement of applications, but we believe it is unlikely to significantly boost traffic intensity on the access network."

Fixed data traffic accounts for 84% of data traffic on telecoms networks, a share that will remain relatively stable during the forecast period. Even if new devices and applications engender a reacceleration of traffic, fixed traffic growth will be accommodated within the ample capacity already created.

This report provides:

  • 5-year forecasts of fixed data traffic for 8 global regions and 19 selected countries
  • analysis of the key trends in, and drivers and inhibitors of, data traffic.
