Let´s GOWEX News 14
The data traffic capacity will be multiplied by 5 between 2015
and 2016, while the use will do it in ratios of between 5 and 23
times. That strong begins the "Mobile Paper Data Blue Wave (2)
Morgan Stanley“report
Pareto: the 80-20 rule
Networks comply "Rule of Pareto 80/20" where concentration of
use is concerned, in other words, 20% of the base stations
loads 80% of the data traffic. And more specifically 1% of
subscribers to mobile data rates provide 24% of mobile data traffic
This rule can be extrapolated to the age of the users, refers, 50%
of users are between 15 and 35 years old, and generate 75% of
total data traffic, according to the report of Morgan Stanley.
A report from Cisco (Cisco Visual Network) anticipates that by
2016, the Internet-connected tablets will generate nearly as
much traffic data as the entire global mobile network in 2012.
This data gives us an idea of the potential of the wireless world,
and therefore all companies that are related to this technology.
GOWEX has opted for this technology as the technology to bring
all citizens access to the "information society", a right that all
citizens should have for free.
*By region these growths are not going to be the
same in all regions:

I was fortunate to attend the Annual General Meeting in 2012 and the experience was fantastic. The company decided to do it in their headquarters and was a hit. An informal atmosphere in which there was great interaction between the company management and shareholders. A day dedicated to the shareholder that I personally can’t thank enough. I will try to repeat. Alejandro Martín
