Opera mini using ¼ of Norway’s bandwidth
I want to highlight something from a Click program on BBC a few months back:
Even though Opera currently accounts for just a few percent of the mobile browser market its servers deal with about a quarter of all of Norway's data traffic.
Wow! Opera’s web to compressed-mobile-version to phone servers must really be running like crazy!! Norway offers one of the worlds fastest broadband connection to private homes, and has the worlds best broadband penetration. Everyone uses the web. Using a quarter of all of Norway’s bandwidth is quite something!
I wonder whether Opera will team up with telecos around the world to try and decentralise their service. Maybe the business plan is to sell and implement their compression technology into the telcos’ own systems?
