FCC Data Shows Mobile Broadband Growth

At year-end 2008, 25 million mobile wireless service subscribers also had mobile devices (such as laptops and smartphones) with high-speed data plans for full Internet access. Parks Associates estimates are that 46 million U.S. subscribers had mobile broadband connections in 2008, so it is possible the 2009 figures will be quite a lot higher when the FCC reports 2009 numbers.

Parks Associates predicted there would be 56 million mobile broadband customers by the end of 2009, for example.
