Just wait until you hear this…

According to CNNMoney.com, “Smartphone companies and carriers are desperate for network capacity, but they’re hard-pressed to find it.”

Meanwhile, the FCC projects that data traffic will jump an astounding 612% per cell site this year and another 925% in 2013…

To make matters worse, Reuters reports that the iPhone 4S consumes TWICE as much data as its predecessor and THREE TIMES more than the iPhone 3G .

This is especially troubling when you consider a leading Apple analyst just upped his 2012 iPhone sales estimates by nearly 20%…

And predicts that another 125 MILLION iPhones will be sold this year alone.

Of course, this “spectrum crunch crisis” — as many industry insiders are now calling it — is terrible news for everyday smartphone users like you and me…

But it’s also absolutely fantastic news for one little-known company that is perfectly positioned to cash in on this impending technological crisis. Not to mention, savvy investors who snap up shares before things get any worse.

…Up until about eight or nine years ago, the term “smartphone” meant about as much to most people as “cell phone” did to Bob Pelissier back in 1985.

 

But then a company called Research In Motion developed the BlackBerry, and before long, they started appearing in the hands of every time-strapped businessman in America.

Sensing a golden opportunity, Apple developed the iPhone, which instantly became the No. 1 must-have gadget for everyone from teenagers to professors, hippies to soccer moms.

And nowadays it’s highly unlikely you can find someone who doesn’t spend all day glued to one of these devices.
In fact, AT&T has seen smartphone traffic jump by more than 8,000% over the past four years — and it’s been a similar story for the other major carriers, too. But get this…

According to esteemed industry research firm Nielsen, data consumption by US smartphone owners has nearly doubled in the last year. And I guess that only makes sense…

After all, the major advantage that smartphones have over regular cell phones is that you can do just about anything on them — check your email, log on to Facebook, surf the Web, or watch YouTube videos.

So it’s little wonder that people are now using their mobile phones to do all the things they used to have to do at home or at work on their computers.

Some analysts are going so far as to predict that mobile devices like smartphones will end up replacing traditional computers altogether. Now that might sound far-fetched, but consider this…

According to a recent report from Morgan Stanley, by 2012 there will be more smartphones sold worldwide than desktop and notebook PCs combined.

As you can imagine, this is putting far greater demands on existing cell phone networks. After all, it’s one thing to transmit voices wirelessly and quite another to stream massive amounts of complex data.

Not to mention, more and more people are making the switch to smartphones each and every day.

As a result, companies like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile are being forced to spend billions to constantly expand and upgrade their networks.
