Huawei: Mobile data volume is increasing rapidly

The LTE successor 5G is becoming more and more popular. Corresponding tariffs have been offered by network operators for a long time and the 5G availability is already impressive, at least in large cities. Now Huawei has become one interesting 5G forecast Get carried away: By 2030, the monthly data volume per user will increase to a full 600 GB.

At the Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF) 2021, Huawei not only forecast numbers for the near future, but also one Warning sent afterwards. With an increasing volume of data, there is also a high consumption of energy. Huawei assumes a tenfold increase here (source: golem.de).

What makes a good cell phone tariff? We have the answer in Video:

We are from 600 GB a month in the end of the LTE era but still a long way off, as current figures show. In Germany, the average monthly consumption in 2020 was around 3 GB. A year earlier, however, it was only a little more than 2 GB. The pandemic in particular has ensured that more users are on the move on the mobile Internet. Overall, consumption in this country rose from 2.76 billion GB in 2019 to 3.97 billion GB.

Unlimited data volume cheaper than ever before

There are already ways of using one unlimited data volume to be on the go. The costs here have fallen sharply lately. Mobilcom-Debitel is currently offering unlimited LTE volume for 29.99 euros via the “Free Unlimited Max” tariff. However, the special offer will expire shortly, so those interested should be quick.
