But mobile traffic will still grow by a factor of 26 between now and then.
According to Cisco’s Visual Networking Index (VNI) Global IP Traffic Forecast, global IP traffic will reach 966 Exabytes per year in 2015, up from 242 Exabytes in 2010.
Within this, wi-fi devices will consume 37.2 Exabytes of data worldwide per month in 2015.
That compares with 37 Exabytes of wired IP traffic.
In percentage terms that's 46.2 per cent for wi-fi (up from 36 per cent in 2010) and 46.1 per cent for wired (down from 63 per cent).
The growth in wi-fi might have the mobile networks rubbing their hands at all that offloading, but in fact cellular traffic will grow 26 times over the period.

The average Internet household will consume 61.8 GB of bandwidth per month in 2015. Last year, it consumed 17.1 GB per month.
