3G的数据业务将引发电信业巨大改变及收益潜力。分析家预测,仅在美国,无线数据收入将于未来10年从5亿美元跃升到245亿美元。Pyramid预计,在亚太地区,3G移动用户将从2002年的2100万增长到2008年的1.62亿用户。目前,虽然用户使用服务的时间在增加,但电信业的每用户平均收入却在降低,相对应的就是成本的增加及利润的紧缩。而 3G data services will trigger tremendous changes in telecommunications and revenue potential. Analysts predict that in the U.S. alone, wireless data revenues will jumped from 500 million U.S. dollars to 24.5 billion U.S. dollars over the next 10 years. Pyramid expects 3G mobile subscribers in Asia Pacific to grow from 21 million in 2002 to 162 million subscribers in 2008. At present, although the user’s service time is increasing, the average per-user revenue of the telecommunications industry is declining, corresponding to the increase in costs and the squeeze on profits. and
