Among mobile consumers surveyed in October, 18.5 percent searched the Internet for products or services in their local area, up from 15.6 percent in 2008. Almost 17 percent connected with a social network such as MySpace or Facebook, up from 9.6 percent in 2008.
Additional results from the study show a growing class of “heavy users” of non-voice services. For example, the percentage of users making more than 10 mobile Internet accesses per week continues to increase significantly, now representing over one-fifth of all mobile users. Among mobile users, 48.2 percent sent or received more than 10 text messages per week, 21 percent had more than 10 Internet accesses per week and 20 percent sent or received more than 10 e-mails per week.
