Multimedia driving sales
This is about the US market. Surprisingly low market penetration for mobile phones overall. Due to bad coverage/roaming? In Europe coverage and roaming in GSM networks are non-issues today (for the most part). On the service side it's less difference between US and Europe, as Europe has been slow on the service uptake due to very little experimenting/risking with services, and operators providing bad business models for content/service providers.
Quote "According to the report, music, games, photos, e-mail and Internet have all found their way onto cell phones, and as more consumers look for ways to integrate multimedia technology into their everyday lives, it is no surprise that nearly 74 percent of Americans now use a cell phone on a daily basis. However, lest manufacturers think handset usage is ubiquitous, 26 percent of Americans still do not use a handset today, indicating there is still a significant market for first-time buyers."
