US Government Spending on DPI

  

A report by Market Research Media predicts that the US government concludes that "DPI technology is in a favorable position to emerge as a major line of cyber defense for years to come. The U.S. Government Deep Packet Inspection market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 31% from 2013 to around US$ 1.8 Billion by 2018. The market will see a few good years of explosive growth in all segments before going flat" (reflecting a $466M market for 2013).

".. Deep Packet Inspection is the only currently available technology capable to provide security of IP traffic at ever growing rates that has inherent traffic management capabilities. Recently massive growth in data processing power and new cyber threats have spurred the deployment of DPI technologies in the U.S. Government agencies".

Chetan Sharma on Shared Data Plans: "some of the fees need to be reduced or completely eliminated"

Chetan Sharma's (pictured) Q2 report on US wireless market refers to the shared data plan that were introduced recently in the US market (by Verizon and AT&T) - ".. We have been advocating shared data plans to create more consumer demand for over two years .. Verizon and AT&T launched the shared data plans this summer with AT&T getting the benefit of launching it second. While it is a great start, to be truly effective, some of the fees need to be reduced or completely eliminated".

On traffic growth - " In 2012, we expect the mobile data growth to be around 80%. This has largely been driven by the introduction of data tiers, the use of WiFi offload, more developer education, throttling in some instances, and some compression and offloading solutions. However, as LTE becomes more widespread in the US, we expect the traffic growth to pick up again".
