    This is data related solely to ads. AdMob ads are served in apps. Apps run on the iPhone. Websites don't show AdMob ads, so this data is near meaningless outside the fact that it demonstrates iPhone users run apps.

    isn't it obvious that's what the article is about.

    that the ads generated using apps constitute up to 50% of bandwidth used ... so the correlation is that admob is using up the users bandwidth and clogging up the network through the apps people use.


    there's a app called adbl0ck which used to be used until the makers of the apps realised they weren't getting as much money anymore. so they tied the ad feature into the app so if you disable/block the apps these days (either using adbl0ck or editing the hosts file) the app will generate an error and not work, which is very annoying
