Verizon Wireless And Sprint Carry Most Data Says ABI Research
When reports
broke last year about how iPhone
users were overwhelming AT&T's network, some people may have concluded that
AT&T was carrying them most data traffic. According to ABI Research, that's
not true. Based on its studies, ABI Research concluded that Verizon Wireless
and Sprint carried more data last year than AT&T. Together, Verizon Wireless and Sprint
customers generated 63% of the mobile network data traffic in the US.
Practice director Dan Shey comments on the traffic, “Interestingly AT&T had the most activated data devices in 2009. But it is laptop mobile data connections that have the most impact on operator data traffic levels. Mobile broadband laptop connections to Verizon and Sprint each far exceed AT&T’s laptop connections.”
