Research and Markets: USA - Mobile Market Insights, Statistics and Forecasts - 2013

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fm5qzp/usa_mobile) has announced the addition of the "USA - Mobile Market Insights, Statistics and Forecasts" report to their offering.

The US mobile subscriber base reached about 330 million by early 2013. Although growth has slowed in line with high penetration levels, mobile data use remains strong while data revenues continue to grow steadily year-on-year. Growth in data ARPU is largely offsetting the ongoing decline in voice services ARPU.
