August 5th, 2009

A new report from Mobtext reveals that although Asia leads the world with 80% 3G penetration, the U.S. is catching up to or surpassing Europe countries in 3G and mobile Internet users, at 28% and 18.2% penetration respectively. “The report attributes the 74% growth in mobile Internet use in the last two years to flat-rate mobile data subscriptions, a huge increase in 3G customers and the proliferation of the iPhone.”
