Mobile Data Overtakes Mobile Voice

In December 2009, the global mobile data traffic generated by 400 million mobile broadband connections overtook the global mobile voice traffic of 140,000 terabytes generated by 4.6 billion mobile subscriptions, according to Ericsson, citing measurements from live networks covering all regions of the world. Ericsson said that data traffic globally grew 280% during each of the past two years, and is forecast to double annually over the next five years. Ericsson said that traffic on 3G networks has also now overtaken traffic on 2G networks.

Ericsson said that more than 200 mobile operators in 60 countries are deploying and promoting Facebook mobile products, with over 100 million active users accessing Facebook through their mobile devices. source: Ericsson statement
