Mobile Data Cost Solutions Will Save U.S. Businesses $8.5 Billion in 2020, says Compass Intelligence6/6/2016
San Antonio, Texas, June 6, 2016
Compass Intelligence, a metrics-based market research and analytics firm, released new research on the impact rising mobile data costs will have on U.S. businesses. Compass Intelligence estimates that the average price per GB on high volume cellular data plans will drop 55% between 2014 and 2018. But even this steep price cut will not reduce enterprise spend for cellular data services, due to exploding traffic volume. Businesses will increasingly explore more affordable ways to support bandwidth needs for mobile data-driven enterprise applications. Reliance on Wi-Fi and other less expensive mobile data services will grow, and collectively save U.S. businesses $8.5 billion in reduced mobile data costs in 2020. This report explores emerging mobile data cost cutting business models and services including intelligent steering apps, unlocked devices, new-generation Wi-Fi networks, and MVNOs providing less expensive business pricing options. “As Wi-Fi continues to grow in availability, quality and sophistication, businesses will increasingly ask, ‘When does my workforce need cellular data?’” explains Mark Beccue, Senior Contributing Analyst at Compass Intelligence. “They will look for ways to move some workers completely off of cellular data plans or for solutions that can offer intelligent hybrid cellular-Wi-Fi connectivity that can be configured based on best price/best signal parameters.” Some of the key questions and topics explored in this study include the following:
Key vendors or companies explored, mentioned, or reviewed in this research include FreedomPop, Apple, Republic Wireless, iPass/Devicescape, Smith Micro Technologies, Google, Forager Networks, and others.
