The majority of Internet traffic has always come from North America. But by 2015, Cisco believes Asia will generate 8% more traffic than North America and become the largest driver of Internet traffic in the world.
Other areas of the world are quickly growing in Internet usage as well. The Middle East and Affrica are growing the fastest, with an expected 8-fold expansion over the next four years, followed by Latin America at 7-fold.
In all, there will be 15 billion connected devices in 2015, or enough for two connections per person. Of course, those figures are skewed by people in developed countries who own several connected devices, but 42% of the world's population will have some connection to the Internet in four years, Cisco predicts.
