iPhones and Android Devices Are Driving Wireless Data Revenues to Overtake Wireless Voice Revenues by 2015 Reveals New ATL

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The emergence of the iPhone and Android-powered devices is driving massive wireless data demand according to Wireless Wins, Wireline Wanes: U.S. Telecom Sizing and Share 2010-2015—the 17th edition of the industry’s chief market sizing and forecasting study by ATLANTIC-ACM, a leading telecommunications industry research and benchmarking firm. The study's forecasts call for wireless data revenues to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10.8 percent (2009-2015), eclipsing wireless voice revenues by the middle of the decade.

"In telecom, the search on the wireline side of the industry from the late 1990s through the end of this past decade was for the 'killer app' that would spark massive demand for data," said ATLANTIC-ACM CEO Dr. Judy Reed Smith. "In wireless, demand is being driven by iPhones, Android-powered devices and the competition between them and between them and the rest of the industry. These devices are killer appliances that enable the seemingly limitless array of killer wireless apps that are driving skyrocketing mobile data demand. Presently, wireless voice revenues are more than double the revenues of wireless data. Within five years, wireless data will represent the majority of industry revenues. "
