AT&T Senior Executive VP John Donovan took to the company's Innovation Space blog to talk wireless data, and the statistics he brings to the table are nothing if not impressive. Among other tidbits, Donovan revealed that the carrier's wireless data traffic has at least doubled every year since 2007. "Over the past five years, AT&T?s wireless data traffic has grown 20,000%," he said. He pegs this "wireless data tsunami" on the growing popularity of smartphones, and AT&T's recent numbers back him up. The nation's second largest wireless carrier picked up a total of 8.9 million new subscribers in 2011, and broke their own quarterly records by selling 9.4 million smartphones during the year's fourth quarter. But with wireless data use on the uptick, AT&T is going to have to get creative when it comes to managing their data networks. Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/UDv2DfVxQEo/
