Major internet congestion has drawn people's attention to mobile networks in recent months, according to one commentator.
Writing in an IDG article published by BusinessWeek, Stephen Lawson has noted that iPhone users in US cities like New York have been forced to deal with serious issues such as dropped calls.
"Traffic jams on the way to the wireless internet have focused new attention on the typically unglamorous networks behind sexy devices such as the iPhone," Mr Lawson stated.
Meanwhile, in his IDG piece, the writer has also included the view of ABI Research's Bhavya Khanna, an analyst who pointed out that 2009 saw a surge in people's use of mobile data services.
In Europe alone, the European Interactive Advertising Association recently claimed that, during an average week, 71 million consumers are making use of mobile internet services.
The firm's Mediascope Europe study looked at a number of areas concerning the mobile internet.
