Global internet usage on mobile devices, exclusive of tablets, has almost doubled to 8.5 percent in January 2012, up from 4.3 percent in 2010, according to StatCounter.
The other important observation is that mobile broadband already has passed fixed network broadband, in terms of number of users or subscribers.
StatCounter Global Stats data also suggest mobile access to the Internet has been doubling every year since 2009. Other studies confirm the trend.
Nokia leads worldwide, most probably driven by its dominance in India, while Apple is second globally but leads the U.S. and U.K. markets.
