As more suppliers announce increases in domestic bills there are fears that the mobile broadband industry could suffer from slowing subscribers, according to the Mobile Data Association.
The latest trend reports from the MDA show that mobile web usage has increased by 25 per cent in the past two years. However, if predictions are correct, this take-up could show a significant slowdown in the not too distant future.
Chairman for the MDA, Steve Reynolds, explained that consumers are having to become more scrupulous when it comes to signing up for additional domestic purchases and many consumers are now too concerned about the costs involved to sign up to new technology. To improve the situation Reynolds called for “greater price transparency on the costs associated with using the mobile internet”. Only then, would the mobile broadband industry take off to become a rival to land-based broadband connections.
