1 Billion 3G HSPA Users by 2012
In a new report, mobile industry body The UMTS Forum forecasts that there will be almost one billion active users of High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) networks by 2012.
How many of these 1 billion users will be sat sending text messages to each other for 12.5 pence each and still using their super-dooper 3g all-singing-all-dancing phone as a mobile photograph album?
Seriously, I hope that we sort out this whole (British) culture of not using MMS, let alone video-calling or anything fancy, because it’s stupidly expensive routine. Hopefully we will get proper pricing in the next few years…
