Abstract
As the US wireless market matures and subscriber growth rates begin to slow, wireless data revenues present an important growth opportunity for carriers. To assist industry players in understanding how best to target these diverse demographic and behavioral segments, In-Stat/MDR has prepared a series of reports, of which this one highlights the youth market (those aged under 30 years), that provide actionable quantitative data, as well as meaningful strategic insights, on wireless data opportunities within each segment. Usage rates and patterns, as well as a 5-year forecast, are provided for this population’s usage of wireless data services.
