Scientific paper
The popular conception is that data traffic nearly, if not already, exceeds voice traffic on backbone networks. However, the results of research reported in this paper imply that voice traffic greatly exceeds data traffic when real users are asked to estimate their usage of a wide variety of media. Media usage was surveyed for students in New York City and in Los Angeles. Other than significant differences in radio listening, e-mails, and downloads, the usage was quite similar. Telephone usage (wired and wireless) was nearly an hour per day. When converted to bits, the telephone traffic was much greater than the data traffic over the Internet. This paper reports on the details of the two user studies. The traffic implications of the results are estimated. The finding that voice exceeds data will then be reconciled with the popular opposite conception.
