Wi-Fi, Small Cells Will Handle Half of all Mobile Traffic in 2013

Juniper Research forecasts that almost 50 percent of data traffic generated by mobile phones, tablets and other 3G or 4G connected devices will be offloaded to Wi-Fi and small cell networks in 2013. 

Whether those estimates are reasonable is the issue, at least in part because not all smart phone or tablet traffic that uses Wi-Fi was actually "offloaded" from a mobile network. 

In some markets, though, close to that amount of traffic could conceivably be handled by small cells or Wi-Fi.
