Shocker: 3G Users Use More Data
Not exactly sure why this is even worth a study, but apparently those who have 3G phones with higher speed access to data are (gasp!) actually using it. That's not surprising at all -- especially since a good part of the marketing around 3G offerings are its ability to let you access data. Still, there's a big difference between simply accessing "more" data and really maximizing the benefit of 3G networks -- and we're a long way from the latter.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
