The internet has become ubiquitous as a means for delivering information and data between users but the strain on networks, both fixed and mobile, is set to force more people to turn to short-range wireless connections to transfer data. Such technology has been pervasive before in the form of infrared and Bluetooth connectivity and is set for a resurgence in the form of web bypass - cutting out the need to connect to the internet at all - as the need for the quick transfer of data between devices and users grows. Roughly one percent of all wireless data exchanged in 2012 will be between devices rather than routed over the internet which is double the level of 2011. With telecoms companies balancing the need to invest in network improvement with the demands of customers for data capacity, web bypass will emerge as a third network option alongside fixed broadband and mobile for transferring information.
