Numbers are from the Danish National IT and Telecom Agency, http://www.itst.dk/wimpdoc.asp?page=tema&objno=95024114. The documents are in Danish, I'm afraid. You might send them an email and ask for more information. Danish Computerworld ran a story today where they quote the numbers I relayed to the list: http://www.computerworld.dk/default.asp?Mode=2&ArticleID=25345 - also in Danish. Computerworld also refers to a German report, which puts the Danes ahead of all other European nations in their use of SMS messaging (no reference). In Computerworld, the head of a Danish cell phone company is quoted as saying that his company has had great succes with a cell phone subscription with unlimited SMS. He got the idea for this subscription when he found out that his son sent 1,600 SMS messages per month. Most likely typed with the thumbs... I am stunned with the SMS numbers from Asia. Any ideas why the difference is so big? Best, Charlie

Charlie and Merlyna,
These are fascinating numbers; what are the sources of these statistics (for those of us who'd like to cite them in future research)?
Thanks,
Kirk
