Well, apparently things are changing, at least in the area of mobile data. It’s no surprise that America is leading in mobile-data growth, since we had so damn far to go, but it’s a little funnier that Verizon (you know, the carrier with no iPhone, or any cool phone to speak of) is #2 worldwide in mobile data revenues. I know their monthly fees are high, but that’s pretty friggin’ impressive. You can see the rest in the chart above. Sure it’s nice, but there’s something fishy about the scarcity of Euro companies on this particular data-revenue-oriented list. [GigaOm] [...]

For the US operators I’d expect SMS revenue to be nearly half of all data revenue.

Secondly, I want to point out that e.g. China Mobile does not have 500M subscribers – it has that many subscriptions. With some operators the difference between these two is very significant. It would be less confusing if we talked about about connections and subscribers.

I believe I’ve seen data suggesting iPhone users do way more data usage than average. An additional chart on actual data usage might show that AT&T gets much less revenue per equivalent data usage than VZW. That’s got to hurt.

The data is probably wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators
1) China mobile: 500mio subscribers
2) Vodaphone: 303mio
3) Telefonica / Movistar / O2: 261mio
4) América Móvil: 191mio
5) Telenor: 168mio
…
13) Verizon wireless: 88mio
16) AT&T: 80mio
