Top 1% of Mobile Users Consume Half of World’s Bandwidth

This is getting absolutely stupid... from the New York Times...

The world’s congested mobile airwaves are being divided in a lopsided manner, with 1 percent of consumers generating half of all traffic. The top 10 percent of users, meanwhile, are consuming 90 percent of wireless bandwidth.

“Some people may draw the parallel to Occupy Wall Street, and I’ve already heard comments about ‘Occupy the Downlink,’ ” Mr. Flanagan said.

Arieso researchers, in their latest survey, found that users of Apple’s iPhone 4S downloaded 276 percent more data from an operator’s network than did people with the Apple 3G, which has been on the market since June 2008.

So... now you liberals have three areas of inequality to worry about... income inequality and redistribution in the United States (as per the mission of Occupy Wall Street), income inequality and redistribution globally ("Americans make up half of the world's richest 1%" <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href=" 285bound.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17194 " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17194<!-- l --> ) and now bandwidth inequality. Before you know it... you're going to be busy Occupying Everything (tm).

Ya gotta just laugh at these people.

Wow but not surprising and this one can probably become part of the inequality discussion happening on the other 1% american thread....

Imagine what happens when Americans start using their phone as banks like the rest of the world?
