“Unique-user growth since July 2008: 40.8%”
I think this is a key stat…the base is very low…and still only 40% growth…not great, right?
it very expensive for some other countries to using mobile internet. Expensive make them avoid of using mobile internet.
India still in the top 3
That great.
the top devices are nokia but I am guessing since its a result from devices using opera this would not include android devices in india. Since most of the android devices use the built in browser than the opera but with nokia most of them download the opera mini since the built in one kind of sucks.
I think there will be some android devices in the top 10 devices if data from all the devices is included not just devices using opera
so many people are using mobile internet, its because mobile internet is getting cheaper day by day. and people also prefer to use internet on there mobile phone rather than going to cafe.
Wireless Internet access makes mobile email access and Web searching possible from phones and roaming mobile computers..
I am a ph D scholar in ggu I needed this data so I am very gratefull to find it. thanks
very happy to read this.
