Internet on the GO GO GO!!!!

Hello again everyone,




And welcome to another instalment of the WORD on mobile phone recycling.



In recent figures by the IDC it is suggested that 450 million mobile customers use their mobile to access the internet, an amazing figure but even more amazing is the fact this is expected to double by 2013!



Internet on the go is not a new thing, it started with internet cafes and has spread to WAP enabled phones and into the internet access we take for granted on apple iphones and other PDAs and smart phones. But why are so many people using the internet on the go?



I know that I use it when I am in London and need to search Google maps to find where I am going or when I have been reluctantly taking shopping on a Saturday and I want to find out the latest football scores. These are merely trivial things with little direct use except gaining knowledge! But do people use their mobiles to conduct regular business? Or is it not quite as good as it needs to be to make this a valid option. I suggest the later to be true and that this 200% increase in take up will be built around the fact that mobile internet will be the first option before we even think of sitting down at our tired old laptop for a browse through the latest news. And thus phones must get quicker, faster and with a better interface to meet these needs and as a consequence for will become redundant at a quicker rate. It is at this point I ask you to recycle your old phone responsibly with us here at mopay.



Until next time people, keep recycling
