Mobile Data Plans: The Options for Aligning Services with Consumer Needs

That said, there actually is one constant that is crying out for change. We all would like a mobile data plan that takes into account such things as:

  • How many devices we would like to be connected
  • How many people we would like included on a plan
  • How much data do we consume and can we be alerted when we are about to bust our limits?

Much of the explosion in data revenue can be tied to the rapid adoption of smartphones.
