RAPID GROWTH IN MOBILE DATA CONSUMPTION HAS IMPACTED THE AMOUNT OF WI-FI OFFLOADING IN THE UNITED STATES. Wi-Fi offloading is a tool operators continue to rely on to handle the data traffic impacting their mobile networks. But it doesn’t stop here...
IN THE U.S. ALONE, THE AMOUNT OF STATES NATIONWIDE WHICH OFFLOADED AT LEAST 90 PERCENT OF THEIR DATA GREW NEARLY 10 TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
WEFI PULSE TREND ALERTS
APP USAGE IN THE RED ZONE
The WeFi Pulse Report examined TRENDS AND KEY EVENTS AFFECTING MOBILE DATA USAGE DURING TWO MAJOR EVENTS IN JANUARY 2014.
WeFi analyzed THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA APPS INCLUDING FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM AND SNAPCHAT DURING NEW YEAR’S EVE 2013 IN LOS ANGELES AND NEW YORK.
Despite the amount of unique Facebook users during New Year’s Eve 2013, INSTAGRAM HOLDS THE TITLE OF NYE 2013'S MOST USED APP!
WEFI ALSO ANALYZED THE GROWING BASE OF AMERICAN CONSUMERS WHO USE THEIR MOBILE DEVICES TO VIEW NFL FOOTBALL VIA THE NFL MOBILE, NFL MOBILE 1.0 OR NFL SUNDAY TICKET MOBILE APP.
In most states, usage of these apps decreased during the playoffs as compared to the first few weeks of the regular season unless a team from that state made it to the playoffs (e.g. California, Massachusetts).
However, a few states are exceptional “football-avid” states such as South Carolina and Kentucky, which showed increased usage during the playoffs despite the lack of professional NFL teams in their state.
NFL MOBILE APP IS MVP DURING PLAYOFFS The NFL Mobile App was used most by Android OS and Symbian OS users during the 2013-2014 NFL Football playoffs starting January 4 through January 19, 2014.
