“The use of 3G mobiles will not pass 50 per cent penetration until 2010, according to a report by JupiterResearch“…I’m not sure whether that counts as stalled considering the number of 3G handsets in Europe will rise from 5.1 million in 2004 to 184 million in 2010, which is quite a big leap. The report also predicts that SMS use will decline (or at least, revenues from SMS will decline, which is different) but mobile messaging will retain the majority share of data revenue thanks to MMS, e-mail and instant messaging.
“The use of personalised and information content will grow 10 per cent and four per cent respectively, and so-called ‘real’ tones will replace polyphonic ring-tones.”
