WHAT IS “MOBILE”?
Why is MOBILITY Important?
Mobility is important for individuals because ACCESS and ENGAGEMENT
anywhere anytime is the expectation.
We see this demonstrated in social networking, to banking, from work to education, airlines, and
everywhere in-between.
Individuals want information and want to contribute information at a moment’s notice.

Within one year, some 45% of U.S. higher education students will own and access the Internet from handheld devices.

All data can be viewed over any of the pre-set timeframes, or you can create a custom view–however you’d like to see the data!
