Mobile broadband growth outpacing fixed line

by Joe on October 13, 2009

Despite worldwide financial shakiness, mobile broadband remains a growth industry. While that rate isn’t quite as high in America, across the Atlantic people are signing up for mobile broadband plans faster than ever. A recent study shows that mobile broadband subscriptions are outpacing their fixed line counterparts. This is no insignificant number: mobile broadband subscriptions project to around 600 million worldwide by the end of the year, while fixed line connections should number 500 million. Europe brings up the number, as around 1 in 5 people have mobile broadband connections. This signals the possibility of even greater growth over the next five years than originally projected.
