iPhone 4S owners consume almost twice as much data as iPhone 4 users

Domingo, Enero 8th, 2012 at 22:51 ?

iPhone 4S users consume nearly twice the amount of data as iPhone 4 owners according to a new study. Research from Arieso suggests the phone consumes more than 3x the data of the original iPad 3G, too. ?I use the iPhone 4 myself and when I first heard of the iPhone 4S features I was not compelled to rush out and get one,? Arieso?s chief technology officer Michael Flanagan said. ?However, the data usage numbers I am seeing make me wonder what I am missing.? Apple?s virtual assistant Siri is likely responsible for the added data consumption, although Arieso didn?t specifically say that in its report. In addition, Arieso said just 1% of data users consume half of all downlink data. ?While the report provides general trends, the studies on which they?re based demonstrate the importance to operators of understanding the increased consumption each type of smartphone brings,? Flanagan said. ?Despite stark industry warnings, mobile operators are still playing ?Guess Who?? with their subscribers.? Arieso?s press release follows after the break.

Arieso reveals latest trends in smartphone data use
06 January 2012

• ?Study reveals explosive growth in mobile data demand
• iPhone 4S users are the ?hungriest? data consumers, demanding twice as much data as iPhone 4 users and three times as much as iPhone 3G users
• Just 1% of all users now consume HALF of the entire downlink data

Fuelled by new smartphones, apps and services consumer demand for mobile data is accelerating beyond expectations, finds a new report from Arieso. Following a similar study in 2010, Arieso?s new analysis reveals that so-called ?extreme? users are becoming even more extreme, with 1% of subscribers now consuming HALF of all downloaded data. One thing is clear: the capacity issues plaguing mobile operators around the world will worsen in 2012.

The Arieso study, ?Recent Smartphone Trends & the Extreme Data User?, compares data usage across a variety of smartphones and connected devices. It finds that users of the iPhone 4S demand three times as much data as iPhone 3G users and twice as much as iPhone 4 users, who were identified as the most demanding in the 2010 study. In a finding consistent with 2010 results, it also shows that Google Nexus One users make twice as many data calls as iPhone 3G users.

?The introduction of increasingly sophisticated devices, coupled with growing consumer demand, is creating unrelenting pressure on mobile networks. The capacity crunch is still a very real threat for mobile operators, and it looks set to only get harder in 2012,? commented Dr. Michael Flanagan, CTO, Arieso and study author. ?The mobile industry needs new investment and new approaches to boost network performance and manage the customer experience?.
Top Line Results
The Arieso analysis compares the data consumption of users of the latest smartphones against the iPhone3G as a ?normalised benchmark?. The study found that different users and different devices exhibit very different demands on the network.

The most significant change in consumer behaviour between 2010 and 2011 data has been catalysed by the introduction of the iPhone 4S. iPhone 4S users download 2.76 times as much data as users of the iPhone 3G. And while an Android-powered device maintains last year?s position at the top of the table for uplink data volumes, with HTC Desire S users typically uploading 3.23 times as much data as iPhone 3G users, the iPhone 4S falls just behind in this category with a typical 3.20 times as much data uploaded.

There are some very hungry handset users, even compared to the iPhone 3G benchmark (iPhone 3G = 100%):

Data calls per subscriber:

• HTC Google Nexus One: 221%
• Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i: 157%
• HTC Desire: 156%

Uplink data volumes:

• 3G Modems (various): 2654%
• HTC Desire S: 323%
• iPhone 4S: 320%

Downlink data volumes:

• 3G Modems (various): 2432%
• iPhone 4S: 276%
• Samsung Galaxy S: 199%

?While the report provides general trends, the studies on which they?re based demonstrate the importance to operators of understanding the increased consumption each type of smartphone brings. Despite stark industry warnings, mobile operators are still playing ?Guess Who?? with their subscribers,? continued Flanagan.

?Without adequately preparing networks to support the new generation of smart devices, operators risk spiralling and misplaced operational expenditure and delivering a sub-par quality of experience to customers. It?s critical that operators redouble their efforts to limit the impact of this inevitable squeeze.?

Arieso has published the detailed findings of its latest studies, conducted using ariesoGEO, together with in-depth analysis in its report ?Recent Smartphone Trends & the Extreme Data User? which is available upon request.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Wall Street futures are slightly higher as the market looks to regain its early year momentum after a lackluster response to strong U.S. jobs numbers last Friday.

Dow futures were up 24 at 12,333. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 futures rose 1 point to 1,275. The Nasdaq composite rose 8 points to 2,360.

After a perky start to the year, market sentiment has deteriorated again due to concerns about Europe's ability to solve its debt problems.

European markets were steady Monday as the leaders of France and Germany meet to hash out a plan on restoring confidence in the euro. French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are meeting for the first time this year.

Investors will want to see how the "fiscal compact" agreed in December is being fleshed out. All EU countries but Britain agreed last month to consider a new treaty to enforce tougher budget controls by March this year.

The French and German leaders stressed that they view boosting economic growth a priority as they push through with efforts to stem the eurozone's debt crisis.

Both said they're prepared to consider speeding up payments into the 17-nation eurozone's permanent rescue fund, the European Stability Mechanism, in an effort to bolster confidence.

Germany's DAX was down 0.2 percent at 6,046.83 while the CAC-40 in France rose 0.3 percent to 3,145.12. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was down 0.2 percent at 5,639,67.

Earlier in Asia, Chinese shares in Hong Kong and the mainland jumped sharply following a weekend government planning conference during which Premier Wen Jiabao promised to channel lending to entrepreneurs who have been battered by weak global demand.

China tightened lending and investment curbs last year to cool its overheated economy but has reversed course in recent months following a slump in global demand that has hurt exporters and led to job losses.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng index jumped 1.5 percent at 18,865.72. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gained 2.9 percent to 2,225.89, while the Shenzhen Composite Index gained 3.7 percent. Elsewhere, South Korea's Kospi fell 0.9 percent to 1,826.49. In Japan, financial markets were closed for a public holiday.

Trading in the oil markets was fairly subdued, with benchmark crude for February delivery down 36 cents at $101.23 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Catholic Voters Are Rick Santorum???s Big Hope (ContributorNetwork)

COMMENTARY | After a superb performance in the Iowa caucus, Rick Santorum, who has based his entire campaign on wooing social conservatives, surprised some political observers by opting to campaign in socially liberal New Hampshire instead of going straight to South Carolina. Santorum, a devout Catholic, is clearly betting on the large Catholic contingent in New Hampshire to give him a boost in the voting booth.

According to CNN's 2008 exit poll, Catholics account for 38 percent of New Hampshire's Republican primary voters. If the former Pennsylvania senator could capture a big chunk of the Catholic vote, he has a good chance of pushing Mitt Romney to the limit.

Santorum's chief opponent in the Granite State is actually not Romney. There is a fierce battle among Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry for the conservative vote. In the latest Rasmussen poll, Santorum leads Gingrich and Perry in New Hampshire while narrowly trailing Ron Paul for the second-place spot. If he could muster a strong performance in the Granite State, the Virginia native will come to South Carolina as the ultimate non-Romney candidate.

Whether or not Santorum will be able to win over Catholic voters in both New Hampshire and elsewhere is still a big question mark. Catholics do not always support the Catholic candidate. In the 2004 general election, they favored President George W. Bush over John Kerry, the last serious Catholic presidential candidate. Facing a slate of weak choices, however, unenthused Catholic Republicans may decide to throw all their support to either Santorum or Gingrich, who recently converted to Catholicism.

Regardless of how Santorum will ultimately fare in New Hampshire, his campaign is likely to apply the same strategy in subsequent primary states. The former U.S. senator will continue to court blue-collar voters and evangelicals, while attempt to win over Catholic voters. In a low-turnout primary contest where every vote is important, the Catholic vote could prove decisive for Santorum to catch up to Romney.

Tennessee upsets No. 13 Florida 67-56

/

By BETH RUCKER

updated 2:56 p.m. ET Jan. 7, 2012

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee put together one of its toughest efforts of the season to earn a victory against one of its biggest rivals.

First-year Volunteers coach Cuonzo Martin finally got the defensive effort he's been looking for from his team in a 67-56 win against No. 13 Florida on Saturday. In the process he got his first signature victory.

"It was fun to watch our guys really compete and battle," Martin said. "I don't think there have been too many times like that this year that we've played like that from a passion standpoint, playing for each other and defending the way we did."

The win was the first by an unranked Tennessee team against a ranked Florida squad since Feb. 27, 2007, when the Vols beat the fifth-ranked Gators 86-76.

Under former coach Bruce Pearl, the Vols had won eight of nine against the Gators before Pearl finished his career with a four-game losing streak that included a three-game sweep last season. Tennessee was especially dominant against Florida at home during that stretch, winning five of six at Thompson-Boling Arena.

"You want to protect your home court," Martin said. "Whether it's a new coach, new team, inexperienced guys or whatever you want to call it, you want to do everything in your power to try to protect your home court. The great ones find ways to win on the road."

The Vols (8-7, 1-0) protected their home court by fighting for good shots around their own basket and contesting the Gators all over the floor on the defensive end to limit them to a season-low points total.

Florida, which has lost all four of their true road games this year, came in averaging 85.4 points this season, best among SEC teams and fifth in the nation. The Volunteers held the Gators to 35.7 percent shooting while hitting 51 percent of their own attempts.

"I'm more disappointed with our defense than anything else in the game," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "Both teams played hard, but the difference was the defense. At one point were we giving up 55 percent (shooting) in the second half. That was the issue."

Josh Richardson hit a 3-pointer 41 seconds into the second half that set the tone for the Vols the rest of the way. Cameron Tatum stole the ball from Erving Walker on the next possession and ran it down the floor for a dunk to give Tennessee a 38-31 lead.

Kenny Boynton hit a 3-pointer for the Gators at the other end. Boynton, who entered the game averaging 19.5 points, finished with 13. Erik Murphy also had 13 for Florida (12-4, 0-1) and Patric Young added 12.

Renaldo Woolridge answered with a layup for the Vols. Tatum drew a charge by Bradley Beal and after running a bit of an offensive set drove to the basket to hit a layup to make it 42-34.

The Vols expanded their lead as they hit 12 of 22 shots in the second half while the Gators hit only 8 of 27. Tennessee controlled the post in the second half and outscored Florida 32-20 in the paint.

"They were making shots," Murphy said. "They were getting a lot of easy baskets, because they were executing their offense really well. You know, we didn't guard as well as we could have. You combine those two together and they are going to score."

Smothered by defenders, Jordan McRae hit a jumper near the basket to give Tennessee a 65-49 lead with 1:57 to go, putting the game out of reach for Florida.

After starting every other game this season, Kenny Hall came off the bench to score a season-high 13 points. Jeronne Maymon and Trae Golden each added 12 points for Tennessee, while McRae finished with 10.

Tennessee had lost to its previous three ranked opponents this season by an average 5.7 points but looked listless in a 69-51 loss at Memphis on Wednesday.

The Gators held early practices all week trying to get used to Saturday's 11 a.m. Eastern tipoff time and got their customary strong performance from their starters, who are all averaging double-digit scoring this year. But Florida's reserves only managed one point, a free throw by Casey Prather.

Though Florida entered the game with the advantage in nearly every statistical category, the two teams played to a near draw in the first half, with Tennessee entering halftime with a 33-29 lead.

The Vols outshot the Gators 48.1 percent to 41.4 percent in the first half and had four more points in the paint. Thanks to a solid effort by McRae, who was relegated to the bench for the first time all season, the Tennessee reserves outscored Florida's 11-0 in the first half.

The victory gives the Vols a boost as they continue through a month that includes four more games against teams currently ranked among the top 15 in the nation. Tennessee travels to No. 15 Mississippi State on Thursday and hosts No. 2 Kentucky on Jan. 14.

""It was really good for us to get our confidence back after the loss at Memphis," Maymon said. "It's only one game, but we were just trying to start it off strong. Everybody's (SEC) record was 0-0, so we were just trying to start over like a new year."

Kirchner 'did not have cancer'

7 January 2012 Last updated at 10:38 ET

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner did not have cancer after all, the presidential spokesman has said.

Ms Fernandez underwent an operation last Wednesday aimed at treating suspected thyroid cancer.

Supporters gathered in vigil at the hospital amid huge public interest.

But post-operative tests had definitively ruled out the presence of cancerous cells in removed nodules, spokesman Alfredo Scoccimarro said.

The news was greeted with cheers of astonishment and relief when it was announced to supporters outside the Austral University Hospital in Pilar, some 60km (40 miles) from the Argentine capital Buenos Aires.

With the new diagnosis, Ms Fernandez's medical team "considers that the surgical treatment undertaken is sufficient and the administration of radioactive iodine is no longer necessary", Mr Scoccimarro said.

Popular leader

He said the president was thankful for the affection and concern for her health she had received.

She has been released from hospital and is convalescing at her official residence, he added.

Ms Fernandez, 58, won re-election with a landslide 54% of the vote in October, and is popular among Argentines who agree with her generous welfare programmes.

She had been believed to be suffering a papillary thyroid carcinoma, but doctors say it can be difficult to test definitively for the presence of the cancer without removing the thyroid gland in its entirety.

She was one of several Latin American leaders diagnosed with cancer in recent times.

President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Paraguayan leader Fernando Lugo, and former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva have all been operated on in the past year.
