Mobile data services or non-voice services are becoming major trend among US mobile subscribers. US trade association, CTIA has announced that wireless data service revenues for the first half of 2008 rose to US$14.8 billion, showing that there is a 40% increase over the first half of 2007, when data revenues totaled $10.5 billion.

Wireless data revenues now amount to 20% of all wireless service revenues. “These statistics prove that wireless service in today’s marketplace means so much more to American consumers than just voice-calls,” said Steve Largent, CTIA-The Wireless Association President and CEO.

According to Largent, we can see more and more people are using wireless devices to access the Internet, take photos, get directions, watch videos, download music and send text messages. “But this is just the beginning,” he said. “When wireless customers want even more from their handsets and networks, the industry will continue to respond, evolve, innovate, and deliver to meet this growing demand.”
