I’m probably one of the few Aussies who have never been to Bali.<\/p>\n

Indonesian Bali, that is. Last month I made my way to Bali in Greece.<\/p>\n

Bali is one of the nicer beaches on the island of Crete. Plunging cliffs, soft smoky sand, warm Mediterranean water…it’s easy to take.<\/p>\n

As I reclined on a sunlounger and surveyed my surroundings, I noticed something funny.<\/p>\n

Here we were at one of Europe’s most peaceful, pleasant destinations. But instead of surfing the waves, just about every person on the beach was surfing a smartphone.<\/p>

Addiction to mobile data<\/strong><\/a> has grown way beyond the behaviour you see on the train to work and around restaurant tables. It’s becoming a full-blown global epidemic.<\/p>\n

Growth in high speed mobile data consumption is not a new theme. But I firmly believe that you just can’t overestimate how far this will run. <\/p>\n

People all over the world will demand staggering amounts of bandwidth in the coming years. Kids born today will expect access to complex, data-intensive online content in far-flung locations as their absolute birthright.<\/p>\n

Telco service providers hold the whip hand here. I’d back their ability to feed the global data addiction at increasingly profitable rates. <\/p>\n

As long as they don’t fall into the trap of brawling over price and capacity, like Qantas Airways Ltd [ASX:QAN]<\/strong> and Virgin Australia Holdings Ltd [ASX:VAH] <\/strong>have done over the past few years, the mobile data theme will remain investable.<\/p>\n

This is why the growth of online connectivity has been one of my key themes this year in Australian Small-Cap Investigator<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The world truly is moving towards more immersive technology<\/a> at an unprecedented pace. A wise investment in the right tech stocks today could repay you several times over.<\/p>\n
