Mobile web data release by Bango today confirms that mobile
web usage not only is gaining traction in the United
States but soon will surpass the United
Kingdom, where consumers have accessed the
Internet from phones for years.
According to Bango data, the top five countries accessing
the mobile web via Bango in July 2008 are the UK
at 19.35%, the US
at 18.88%, India
at 10.82%, South Africa
at 8.82% and Indonesia
at 4.08%. Bango identifies users by country and network of origin. The ranking
is produced by measuring the number of user visits to mobile websites from each
country.
"The USA
share of the browsing market has grown as an increasing number of phones come
with bigger screens and service contracts that include unlimited internet
access," said Adam Kerr, VP of Bango North America at Bango. "We fully expect
the US will
overtake the UK
in this ranking as early as this month."
