Mobile Video Growing Pains

January 03, 2010

According to ABI Research, more than 60% of mobile devices today are video capable, and according to research firm Parks Associates, video applications, along with gaming and music, are by far the most popular among consumers, downloaded by 71% of mobile customers.

And consumers aren’t slowing down in buying those mobile devices that demand broadband access. Nielsen in late December issued a report showing that 15% of all American households have a smart phone, and one in five households do not have a landline, relying on cell phones only. Parks Associates estimated that at the end of 2009 there were more than 90 million smart phones in use in the country.
