SMBs Boosting Wireless Data Spend

In-Stat expects small and medium businesses will ncrease their spending on wireless data services by 42 percent from 2010 to 2015. U.S. businesses with one to four employees will lead the category, increasing spending by over 45 percent on wireless data from 2010 to 2015. That has to be one of the least-surprising trends one could imagine.

“Voice has become a commodity, with growth in voice services essentially being stagnant across all sizes of business,” says Greg Potter, In-Stat Data Analyst. “Messaging has been wonderful to the carriers, but the revenue picture here is stagnant as well, with marginal increases or decreases."

"Future growth is all about providing data access to smart phones, tablets, and notebooks, period; end of story," he says.

SMB businesses in total consume about half of all wireless services on a revenue basis.
