According to a survey by IDC 72.5 percent of American cell phone subscribers have not accessed any content services on their handsets in 2006 other than SMS texting. The reason being appears to be that 47% thought data services were too expensive. In fact they thought they were overpaying. Currently Americans spend an average of $3.70 per month for data services. This is not a lot at all, considering that the cheapest mobile service provider in the UK is charging £1 per MB, but only as a package of 5MB and UK customers are happy to pay for it. This is more than three times as much as Americans are prepared to pay today.
