1. The UK is the most cyber-attacked country in the world

According to a report from ThreatMetrix, the UK is both the most attacked country in the world by cyber-attackers and the second highest originator of cybercrime attacks; the only country where more attacks originate from is the US. Attacks on the UK mainly come from Nigeria, Germany, the US and Mexico.

2. 5G will have 240 million users by 2025 due to IoT

According to ABI Research, 4G will reach around 1.37 billion subscribers by the end of 2014. At a time when 5G has yet to even be defined, however, Juniper Research expects it to to reach almost a fifth of this number within 10 years.
