Mobile Instant Messaging is Challenging SMS
Interesting new statistics that shows IM is getting increasingly popular for mobile users, a story on cellular-news have all the details.
It seems to me as a logical evolution for text messaging on mobile phones so nothing comes as a surprise here. The trick is for carriers to change their business model to adapt to the new realities which I think they are doing now given the new all-in-one plans that Sprint and Verizon have started offering recently. It is a sign of changing times and very good thing for all of us, consumers!
