Just some updates in the SMS industry today.

* There are now more cell phones in Australia than there are people.

* 60% of phones in China are “knock-off” brands.

* There are now more mobile phones users in Africa than North America.

Random facts of the day I know. I also read an article that said December of last year showed that more than 48 billion text messages were sent, or about 1.6 billion per day. Woah! Mucho! The info also said that the last 6 months of 2007 showed 4 billion multimedia messages sent (pictures, video, etc.) compared to 2.7 billion sent for the entire year of 2006.

So, it’s increasing. We can see that. Going forward, it’ll be interesting to see what happens.
