The Next Platform, February 28th, 2023
It's a universal and immutable truth that data volumes continue to ramp up at eye-wateringly high rates. Published in January 2023, Sandvine's 2023 Global Internet Phenomena Report, suggests that international Internet traffic volume increased 23 percent in 2022.
The study, which looked at usage data from more than 177 service providers worldwide, reveals that Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple, Netflix, and Microsoft still generate almost half of all Internet traffic, with Google and Netflix racking up for the largest volumes. Media streaming, together with sustained growth in traffic across app categories, including gaming, cloud, VPNs, marketplaces, and video/audio conferencing, were found to account for much of the demand for bandwidth.
