Non-SMS revenues top £10bn

What are non-SMS revenues?

If SMS revenues comprise:

- sending SMSs

- paying for things using SMS

then what are non-SMS revenues. I guess they include:

- laptop data cards

- email (blackberry)

- MMS

- subscription services

I would love to understand the split of these revenue streams but have never found the numbers anywhere.

I suspect that "paying for things using SMS" is not included in the figures quoted.

Give us unlimiuted data access and let us access what we like whether email or the web. That's what users want and what eventually, after operators have spent billions on over-complex billing systems etc., we will get.
