A couple of years ago, when mobile phones were still a novelty, one could read reports around Christmas that operators expect/experience a traffic spike on Christmas eve when people start unpacking their presents and start playing with their new mobile devices. I wonder if that still is the case these days and if the spike is moving more towards the packet switched part of the network. Forecasts, anyone?
