    FACT:

Wireless data traffic is expected to grow 100 times faster than voice traffic over the next 10 years. * Why?

  • Connectivity. 22% of U.S. consumers use connected smartphones that put the Internet in the palm of our hands.** And, nearly half of all mobile devices will be smartphones in the very near future. ***
  • Value. Americans pay roughly the same each month for voice, data and texting as they did for mobile voice alone in 2001--about $50 a month. ****
  • Competition. The U.S. has the most dynamic and competitive wireless device market, with more than 30 manufacturers offering more than 600 choices to consumers.
  • Innovation. In the past year, no less than six app stores have opened online, offering consumers more than 100,000 mobile applications, from video games that teach our kids math to interactive alerts that remind us to take our medications.

This progress wasn't an accident. It was the result of wireless competition, investment and innovation that has only just begun.
