Hello all, The attached link is a little "businessy", but the basic core of it seems to match a couple of other things. I have heard that something over one trillion SMS messages were sent in 2005. Thus, 2 trillion in 2008 does not seem unreasonable as mobiles diffuse to new areas. If you divide this by about 3 billion subscriptions, you get something like 2 text messages per subscription per day.
The other interesting point is that mobile use often cooks down to communication (in the inter-personal sense of the word.) The authors write: This supports our claim that of the various new telecoms technologies and innovations over the last few decades, there can only be one conclusion drawn - the most popular services are usually communications-based - not entertainment, not information, but communications. http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/?ndmViewId=news_view&news Id=20080228005080&newsLang=en Rich L. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mobile-society" group.
