Internet video streaming and downloads are beginning to take a larger share of bandwidth, and will grow from 9% of all consumer internet traffic in 2006 to 30% in 2011.
In wireless, combined traffic from 3.5G and WiMax networks will make up over half of all mobile data traffic by 2011, driven largely by portable computers with HSDPA and WiMax cards.
