Old Greenwich, CT | Wireless data 64% surge in wireless data revenue is the most interesting to me. It is related to one of my favorite articles of the year "How Much Are You Paying for SMS Bandwith?" »How Much Are You Paying For SMS Bandwidth?
Not sure if SMS bandwith is included in the category of "wireless data revenue," but I'm sure $1000 a MB made them a few bucks this quarter. |

Old Greenwich, CT | I am sure iPhone users have used a lot of wireless data, but $50 a month for unlimited data cannot compare to $1000 a MB in text messages.
Also, they had 2 million additional customers this quarter and this was the first quarter AT&T was providing service for iPhone users. Not sure how many of those 2 million are iPhone, probably a lot, but their total now comes to 65 million.
I'm really not trying to be annoying, but there are less than 2 million iPhone subscribers at AT&T and 63+ million non-iPhone text-messaging-ready subscribers. |

Valencia, CA | Yup - increased cost of SMS is why I put a block on all SMS (that and I was being spammed by glomobi.com).
AT&T Wireless = free unlimited inbound sms/mms
AT&T = $0.10/message inbound/outbound
Nextel BB7100i = unlimited email/text/sms/mms and no bill.
