I find it staggering that text messaging in this country continues to grow and yet that’s exactly what keeps happening. In their most recent report the Mobile Data Association shows that texting has grown by 30% in the year to May 2008. Despite the growth of mobile email we’re now sending an amazing 212,616,000 text messages per day.
MDA are also pleased to report that mobile web is maturing finally in fact; it has enjoyed 25% growth over the last two years. Over 16.5 million of us now partake of mobile internet and Steve Reynolds of MDA predicts that before long, mobile internet use could eventually supersede home internet use. Their next report will outline the impact 3g dongles are having, which in my opinion will play a bigger role in online mobile growth than any new iPhone.
