????6歲的孩子隔著操場互發(fā)短信，或是在幼兒園的小教室里打電話，聽起來似乎是挺搞笑的一幕，但是隨著移動時代的迅速發(fā)展，這一幕將成為不可避免的現(xiàn)實(shí)。

????瑞典通訊業(yè)巨頭愛立信公司（Ericsson）近日發(fā)布了一份移動業(yè)報告稱，到2020年，全球不低于6歲的人口中，90%都將擁有移動電話。據(jù)愛立信預(yù)測，屆時全球智能手機(jī)用戶總數(shù)將達(dá)到61億人。而目前全球的智能手機(jī)用戶為27億。

????而那些6歲的孩子并非只是用從父母那兒“退休”的設(shè)備玩玩游戲和應(yīng)用而已。該報告的執(zhí)行編輯帕特里克?塞瓦爾對《企業(yè)家》雜志表示，這個數(shù)字是根據(jù)聯(lián)網(wǎng)的活躍手機(jī)的數(shù)量計算出來的。

????該報告還有很多其它驚人的發(fā)現(xiàn)。愛立信公司指出，智能手機(jī)新用戶增長最快的地區(qū)是印度和中國。此外，視頻功能是耗費(fèi)移動數(shù)據(jù)流量最多、也是增長最快的部分，占所有4G網(wǎng)絡(luò)的45%到55%。

????最后愛立信公司還表示，隨著下一代移動網(wǎng)絡(luò)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)——5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)的商用，到2020年，移動用戶的增長速度還會更快，就像4G用戶的增長速度要明顯超過3G一樣。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

????While the concept of 6-year-olds texting one another from across the playground or placing calls from kindergarten cubbies may sound like a hilarious premise, it’s also a stunning inevitability of our burgeoning mobile age.

????The Swedish communications giant Ericsson has released a new mobility report claiming that, by the year 2020, 90 percent of the world’s population aged 6 years and over will have mobile phones. At that point, Ericsson estimates total smartphone subscriptions will number 6.1 billion; there are an estimated 2.7 million total smartphone subscribers today.

????And the 6-year-olds in question aren’t merely inheritors of their parents’ defunct devices that exclusively run apps and games. The report’s executive editor, Patrick Cerwall, told Entrepreneur that the figure had been calculated by looking at active phones connected to a network.

????The report was chock full of other eye-popping finds. The fastest areas of growth for new mobile subscriptions, Ericsson said, are India and China. Additionally, video is the largest and fastest-growing segment of mobile data traffic, comprising 45 to 55 percent of all 4G-dominated networks.

????Finally, with the commercial deployment of 5G — the next generation of mobile standards — by 2020, subscriptions are bound to increase even faster, just as 4G caused a greater spike in subscriptions than 3G, Ericsson said.
