Phone Users Thumbing Out Over 4 Billion Texts per Day
Phone Users Thumbing Out Over 4 Billion Texts per Day
CTIA released the results of its semi-annual wireless survey yesterday (pdf), and the findings revealed that the mobile industry continues to grow at a ridiculous, exponential rate, particularly in the area of data services. According to the survey, 276 million consumers now use wireless devices, up from 262 million in 2008, and use a total of over 1 trillion minutes.
Revenue from text messages and other data services hit $19.4 billion for the first half of 2009, a 31-percent increase from the same period last year. Just two years ago, people seemed shocked when the survey concluded that almost 1 billion text messages were being sent per day, but that number now pales in comparison to those of the current texting frenzy.
The 2009 numbers indicate that mobile users sent 740 billion texts over the first half of the year, which equates to a staggering 4.1 billion text messages per day. (Then again, that number may be skewed a bit by all those crazy teens who tap out seven texts per minute.) With the text-ravaganza contributing to an astounding $76 billion in total wireless revenue so far this year, maybe it's time for the wireless companies to share some of those profit secrets with the federal government and the auto industry.
