Accommodation of the predicted rapid growth of mobile data traffic is creating serious challenges. In this paper, we separate the notion of mobile data service and the data transport needed for the service. We argue that it is desirable and feasible to mitigate the traffic volume needed for achieving satisfactory services. In addition, we argue that traffic volume is not a proper measure reflecting the "transportation effort" in mobile communication. Various means to reduce this "transportation effort" and measures to quantify it are discussed in this paper. We conclude that more effort should be devoted to mitigation of the traffic growth as well as efficient traffic organization in contrast to accommodating the traffic explosion by purely blowing up the communication capacity.
