Mobility report 2016: Nigeria among 5 top countries with increased mobile subscription

… As 68m mobile subscriptions added in Q4 2015 By Emeka Aginam As Spain welcomed the global community on Monday for the 2016 Mobile World Congress 2016 Ericsson has launched the Mobile World Congress Edition of the Mobility Report with 68 million mobile subscriptions added in Q4 2015. Nigeria,
according to the latest Ericsson Mobility Report is among five top countries that increased the number of global mobile subscriptions. According to the report, India added 21 million, followed by China, 6 million, the US , 5 million, Myanmar , 5 million and Nigeria 3 million Launched yesterday , the Mobile World Congress edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report revealed the impact of different levels of network performance on smartphone users and their perceptions of mobile operators and digital content providers. From the report, Neuroscience technology was used to objectively measure emotional responses to varied smartphone experiences. Delays in loading web pages and videos under time pressure, the report indicated caused mobile users’ heart rates to rise an average of 38 percent. Six-second delays to video streaming, the report said caused stress levels to increase by a third. To put that in context, the report further indicated that the stress incurred is equivalent to the anxiety of taking a math test or watching a horror movie alone, and greater than the stress experienced by standing at the edge of a virtual cliff. Once a video begins, an additional pause can cause stress levels to increase dramatically. In the study, the Net Promoter Score (NPS) of an operator increased significantly when associated with a delay-free experience – by 4.5 points. This finding was also reflected when measuring emotional engagement using a neuroscience-based motivational index. However, the operator’s NPS, according to the report, dropped on average four points with moderate time-to-content and re-buffering delays. Interestingly, moderate delays result in a double negative for mobile operators: decreased engagement with their brand and increased engagement with competitors. Other highlights from the Ericsson Mobility Report – Mobile World Congress edition, included *Social networking is second only to video for driving mobile traffic growth. Over the next six years total social networking traffic will be around 12 times that of the previous six years * 68 million mobile subscriptions added in Q4 2015, India added the most (21 million), followed by China (6 million), the US (5 million), Myanmar (5 million) and Nigeria (3 million) *Total number of mobile subscriptions in Q4 2015 reached 100 percent penetration at around 7.3 billion – the same number of mobile subscriptions as people in the world *Global mobile data traffic grew 65 percent between Q4 2014 and Q4 2015 *There are now one billion LTE subscriptions worldwide, with approximately 160 million additions in Q4 2015 *wireless electroencephalography (EEG) technology, pulse meters and eye-tracking equipment At the ongoing MWC 2016, holding in Barcelona, Spain, Ericsson is showcasing its unique industry insights, the latest innovation and inspirational discussions that enable powerful new business opportunities.
