The company attributes the sharp increase in mobile traffic to a projected surge in the number of mobile devices, which is expected to exceed the number of people on Earth. "By 2016, 60% of mobile users -- 3 billion people worldwide -- will belong to the ‘Gigabyte Club,' each generating more than one gigabyte of mobile data traffic per month," said Suraj Shetty, Cisco's vice president of product and solutions marketing. "By contrast, in 2011, only one-half percent of mobile users qualified." http://newsroom.cisco.com/press-release-content?type=webcontent&articleId=668380  _____________________________________________ o Study: Fewer U.S. Tech Companies Shipping Jobs Overseas Chicago -- Fewer U.S. technology companies are shipping jobs overseas, according to a new study by accounting and consulting giant BDO. According to the survey, just 32% of technology CFOs now say their companies outsource services or manufacturing outside the U.S. That marks a substantial shift from 2009, when nearly twice as many were outsourcing. And among the companies not currently outsourcing, 80% said they are unlikely to outsource services or manufacturing overseas in the near future. "With unemployment numbers still hovering above 8%, pressure is mounting from Washington to bring jobs home," said Paul Heiselmann, a member of BDO's Technology and Life Sciences practice. "Bringing services and manufacturing back to the U.S. is also a smart move for tech companies looking to improve the quality of service and reduce exposure to international risks and major supply chain disruptions.” http://www.bdo.com/news/pr/1952 _____________________________________________ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Clean Energy & Smart Grid Directory - Special Limited-Time Discount Offer Tech Wire’s directory group has just published the 2012 edition of the Clean Energy & Smart Grid Directory, which profiles nearly 1,000 of the most cutting-edge organizations in the renewable energies and smart grid sectors in the U.S. and Canada.
