Verizon and AT&T Have Captured Most of the U.S. Mobile Industry's Growth Since 2008

Posted on 09:11 by Unknown
A new report on the U.S. mobile industry provides confirmation of the pervasiveness of the mobile business. U.S. mobile penetration at the end of 2012 was 102 percent and almost 40 percent of U.S. households are mobile only, IGI Group says. 

The report also shows how U.S. market structure has changed since about 2008. Verizon Wireless and AT&T Mobility still are number one and number two in terms of subscribers, and have captured most of the market's growth.
