The result of more people using these devices times more bandwidth intensive apps per device creates a multi-year problem for the MNOs and the range of effective solutions: LTE upgrade, cell site splitting and increased backhaul capacity are all fairly capital intensive and time-consuming. The carriers will need to do something to control the demand side of the equation to have a shot of getting ahead of this in the near term – either getting more people to pay for data they don’t use or provide pricing plans that create “incentives for users to behave better.”

“Unprecedented” was how they described the traffic surge on their network the past few years. But it looks like that will be the norm, not the exception, for the future.
