Between the two types of data usage, Wi-Fi traffic has exploded, growing at more than double the rate of cellular traffic and accounting for nearly 83 percent of the total data generated, it found.
Just 17 percent of total data used was generated on cellular networks.
"Our data indicates consumers are increasingly relying on Wi-Fi for data traffic, and this trend is well echoed in some of the recent plans from Google's Project Fi and Republic Wireless, where Wi-Fi is set as the default service,a Strategy Analytics vice president Barry Gilbert was quoted as saying.
Based on more than one million individual application sessions from over 3000 panel members, the new data also revealed differences in usage among various racial groups.
