Probably not information in the public domain but with the operators and 
  its not broken down by sector utilization. Instead, its broken down by 
protocol utilization - a default feature of the tools used to collect 
this type of traffic data.

The potential quick overview would be between the R&E network vs. 
everyone else. This will establish what percentage of the overall 
bandwidth goes to commodity internet vs. private apps/networks.

The current utilization patterns indicate that the internet usage is 
mainly at the corporate level, with no follow through of users to their 
respective residential places.  This is likely to change in the future 
but at the moment meaningful and profitable Internet usage is only from 
0800 - 1800 hrs.

In this respect, residential access would be a key focus for most 
operators as it would help them resell the idle capacity from 1900hrs to 
0800hrs the next day. BPO's can also make good use of this capacity.

Attached is a sample graph taken 2 years ago. The main difference today 
is that the peak time traffic has grown over 100%. However, the off-peak 
is yet to record similar successes.

Michuki.
