The Internet will see explosive growth in connected devices and in traffic, with global traffic quadrupling between 2010 and 2015, Cisco Systems predicted in a report released Wednesday.
Global Internet traffic will be 966 exabytes (an exabyte equalling a quintillion bytes or 1,024 petabytes) in 2015, and there will be 15 billion network-connected devices, about two per person worldwide, Cisco said in its new Visual Networking Index Forecast.
The average U.S. resident will have seven networked devices in 2015, predicted Suraj Shetty, Cisco's vice president of global service provider marketing. In 2010, there was one connected device for every human on the planet.
Internet traffic will increase by 200 exabytes between 2014 and 2015, Cisco said. Global Internet traffic in 2010 was about 20.2 exabytes per month, the company said.

Cisco also predicted that Wi-Fi traffic, connecting devices including tablets, would surpass fixed broadband traffic in 2015.
This is the fifth release of Cisco's Internet traffic report. The networking equipment maker has slightly underestimated Internet traffic trends in its previous reports, Shetty said.
The growth in traffic and connected devices will have huge implications for network providers and for government policy, said a group of Internet experts gathered at a Cisco event in Washington, D.C.
