We currently have unique devices numbers, but know next to nothing about how many unique people that represents. It would be nice to do some research about how many different devices and browsers people tend to use so that we have a rough guide for interpreting unique devices.
A 2013 Cisco report predicted 2.5 devices per user in 2017, and 5 in 2020.
Yes but maybe not to DR. It's relevant to finding a scaling factor for
unique devices to estimate a correspondence to actual people.
From what we're learning in research, this looks like it might vary
significantly regionally. For example:

Another way to do it could be to normalize devices per country with number of users with internet connection per country. That can give you a scaling factor.
@atgo Thanks for updates. I would like to take DR off this ticket, but if I do, it will disapear into the ether. Please suggest what other board it should be added to. If we are needed in future we can come back or open another ticket.
@aripstra I'm working on getting a new readers board up and will move this there when that's all set up.
New Readers has no particular need for this; moving to the general research ideas project.
