Global SMS Traffic Keeps Rising
Filed in archive Mobile Technologies by Editor on July 19, 2007
Global use of SMS text messaging is continuing to rise, according to figures released by Informa. According to World Cellular Data Metrics, more than 620 billion messages were sent worldwide in the first quarter of 2007.
SMS revenues were up 23% over the same period, helping total data revenues to reach US$34.3 billion in the quarter, the highest ever. The higher increase in SMS traffic compared to revenue reflects lower SMS tariffs and the greater availability of bundled packages.

Out of 70 operators tracked in WCDM, the proportion of data revenues coming from non-SMS ranged vastly, from just 1% (Vodafone Egypt) to over 70% (KTF, Korea).


Not bad for something developed for engineers to keep in touch.
