For us, the swell in mobile devices started after Black Friday this season. I have tracking that covers four years. There was a slight adoption of mobile devices following Christmas 2 years ago, last years significant growth began just before the holiday but peaked afterward. Mobile has roughly doubled again this year - but almost entirely before the holiday. An interesting trend that we need to track is concurrent use. So far this semester we are seeing general computing devices less frequently so our pool utilization after the break thus far is equal to before the break totals... but, the peak is expected to hit around mid term when students have both devices active at the same time.

More buildings that used to be good on a /24 are requiring a /23, and buildings that had /23s are starting to need /22s.

After at least of year of steadily increasing numbers, we are now seeing a roughly 40% increase since last December. At first I didn't believe what I was seeing and opened a case with the vendor to confirm reporting was accurate. Tied into this, we upgraded by a major version earlier this month and I thought this could be related. Apparently not the case, everything we've looked at tells us that the numbers are accurate. I'm still looking a stats, but haven't been able to come up with anything yet. Is anyone else seeing this magnitude of increase in devices over winter break ?
