CTIA survey highlights explosive US wireless data growth

CTIA has just released its 2015 update to the Annual (US) Wireless Industry Survey:

Annual Wireless Industry Survey

Several nuggets of joy in there, keep in mind this is US data only:

- the headline of 10 trillion MB of data, actual figure 9.65T more than doubled over 2014
- wireless-only households approaching the midpoint at 48.3%
- voice usage rising by 17%, SMS down slightly but MMS up by almost 44% (on a small base)

And, a note that 85% of us are overpaying for data plans with an average of 1.6GB per month left. Off to check mine ...

IMO this is just the beginning for wireless data. 5G will allow cord cutters to ditch the fixed broadband connection and go wireless only for internet as well.
