Has mobile data growth already crested at AT&T Mobility (T)? CTO John Donovan told a group of developers earlier this week that the growth rate of mobile data traffic is down from the previous quarter.
Down is still up in this sense though because the volume of traffic on AT&T’s mobile network is still up more than 3,000% over the past three years. The breakneck pace of growth has slowed somewhat from earlier this year when the carrier was tracking three-year growth of about 5,000%, Donovan said.
“If you look in absolute numbers, it’s still a tremendous growth rate,” he noted, according to PC World.
Overall, mobile data traffic has grown from about 1 billion megabytes during the third quarter of 2007 to about 30.3 billion megabytes in the third quarter of this year, Donovan said.
