According to ABI Report and infrastructure giant Ericsson the number of mobile subscribers has hit 5 billion as of 2010. The same study claims 2 million additions are made every day, more than 500 million of those subscribers are on 3G.

More importantly the number of devices connected to the internet has continued to climb up. Consumer devices to M2M devices have continued to hog the spectrum space. According to the research of Morgan Stanley the compute continuum continues to expand with better processing power and expansion in the services space. The number of devices that will access the spectrum space will be magnified to up to 10 B units by 2015.
