According to Mobile Trends Report ^[3], video streaming grew 93 percent during that time to become the biggest application using bandwidth. Video streaming makes up 39 percent of mobile bandwidth, while file-sharing and web browsing made up 29 percent each.

The report also found that Twitter ^[4] use nearly tripled, and Facebook ^[5] use rose more than one and a half times.
