But The Mobile Internet Remains In Its Infancy

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

Adoption of mobile devices and access to mobile data — like text and multimedia messaging — in developed countries around the world is widespread. However, when it comes to using these services, most consumers stick with text messaging, while use of the mobile Internet is still limited in each country we survey. While Japan leads the way in mobile Internet usage, there is plenty of room to grow in each region, and a well-tailored local message will do the most to boost adoption.
