Global mobile data brings in over $10bn in Q1 2007

Link: Global demand for mobile data services soars – vnunet.com

Analysts Informa have published their World Cellular Data Metrics report today – which shows that worldwide mobile data revenue from non-SMS services has exceeded $10bn in the first quarter of 2007.

However, the report goes on to state that this interest in other data services does not indicate the end of the road for SMS. Worldwide SMS traffic was up year-on-year by around 50 per cent to more than 620 billion messages in the first quarter of 2007.

SMS revenues were up 23 per cent over the same period, helping total data revenues to reach $34.3bn in the quarter, the highest ever.
