We carry with us all the wisdom of the world and want to have access to it anywhere (no restrictions). We have been using more internet on mobile than on the computer and this year the consumption of content through mobile devices, smartphones and tablets will reach 71% do total.

Communication no longer and what was. Neither will never be what it was. And if our connection to the world becomes ever more distance, there is something that we always keep us. Our a. It is as if we were no longer complete without it. The smartphone has entered in our day to day a few years ago, but was not expected to, soon, much of our life was run from it. He became a faithful friend we rely for almost everything.

Today, is from these smart phone that we access the most information. We continue to make calls, however we consume many other content. Always connected to the Internet - which is, from a last week, one Fundamental Human Right. The resolution of the UN Human Rights Council may not even be binding, but it is a sign of the times - "the same rights that people have offline must be protected online", expresses the document - and serves as a warning to countries that interrupt access to the Web to prevent the flow of information. Freedom of expression, covered by Article 19 the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, It can not be called into question. Much less now, when all reality is with just one touch.

The revolution is underway, even if countries try to catch it (Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and India voted against the resolution adopted by more than 70 countries, Portugal included) and the latest figures show that last year brought in a total shift towards mobility. Mobile devices for the first time surpassed the computer as the preferred means of accessing the internet worldwide and, already this year, consumption through mobile devices (smartphones e tablets) get to, second Zenith, a 71% do total.

According to Anacom, Internet traffic by mobile phone in Portugal increased 8,8% in the first quarter of this year, QoQ, with Internet access traffic from mobile data in general to increase 2,5%. At this time, only the traffic generated by mobile phone in the country already is 41,9% of all mobile internet. Today there are over 5,5 million users (first quarter data 2016) using internet in mobile broadband and the prevalence of mobile phones in this universe is overwhelming: five million access the web via mobile phone and only 549 thousand accessing via tablet or personal computer. The total face growth the previous quarter was 0,3% e 10,1% on year.

The power of the internet via mobile phone in Portugal has an explanation, she also advanced by Anacom from the Telecommunications Barometer Marktest. Points to a curious fact: seven in 10 mobile phone users have a smartphone. Smart phones lead preferences in Portugal. Despite the change of habits, the use of mobile data is still much lower than fixed Internet. On average, the monthly consumption of mobile Internet was 1,42 Gigabytes (GB) per customer, against 57,9 GB monthly average traffic recorded at home.

The war for the best tariff (and the struggle for attracting and retaining customers) It remains a reality, but it is not always easy to find a winner. Having more active customers for mobile broadband does not mean that it is the operator that has more traffic. Regarding the customer shares of active mobile broadband, also advanced by the national regulatory authority, Meo is in the lead (with 43,6%), followed by IN (with 29,9%), Vodafone occupying third place (26,4%). If you prefer to look for mobile internet traffic, NOS has the highest share (37,2%), followed by Vodafone (34,3%) e a MEO (28,5%).

There is still room to grow. The latest European Commission report on broadband prices in the European Union (analyzing all mobile operators of the Community area, relative to February 2015), It shows that prices in Portugal are still very high. Around here, Internet access via mobile phone costs 60% more than the average 28, while mobile broadband for tablets and computers is 45% more expensive than in the EU. The truth is, according to June data from the last year, we are still far below the OECD average number of subscribers per 100 habitants (see above ranking).

There are already predictions for what will happen in the near future to the communications world and it is estimated that the consumption of information through the internet on the phone is what else grow this year (27,7%), role stealing more classical means such as computer (that suffer a decrease of 15,8%). It's not the only one who loses users. Also cinema (-0,5%), the radio (-2,4%), newspapers (-5,6%) and magazines (-6,7%) printed lose part of their share in the world. Estimates are Zenith, who studied the prospects of consumer 71 countries, and show how we stopped not worry about what goes on in the world.

In fact we are even more connected. We are not to consume less content. Only we are doing differently. The increased use of the internet (initially on computers and on mobile devices at a later) It was also responsible for growth in all the means of 2010 e 2015 - increasing exposure to various forms of information, from 403 minutes daily for 435. In 2018, the overall consumption of resources will reach 448 minutes. The company's market research Zenith, no seu relatório "Provisions on media consumption", published in mid-June, It shows that last year we spent 177 minutes a day in front of the TV and 110 on the Internet. Within two years, television represent 38% the consumption of the universe and the Internet - as a whole - 31%. This year, We pass 86 minutes each day (composed by 24 hours or 1440 minutes) using the internet on your phone, against 36 minutes to the computer.

There are many hours looking for small computers we carry in your pocket and want to look at them without restriction, anywhere in the world. The work is not all done and this year the Access Now (advocacy organization Digital Rights) have noted 20 occasions where authoritarian governments have blocked access to internet. The mobile revolution continues.
