U.S. poised to top U.K. in mobile web usage

Mobile web usage in the U.S. will soon surpass the U.K. according to a new study issued by mobile web solutions provider Bango, which credits the surge to catalysts including unlimited data packages and improved handset screens. Bango reports that the U.K. accounted for 19.35 percent of its web users in July 2008, followed by the U.S. at 18.88 percent, India at 10.82 percent, South Africa at 8.82 percent and Indonesia at 4.08 percent. Bango adds it forecasts the U.S. will claim the top spot as early as this month. Its rankings are determined by measuring the number of user visits to mobile websites from each country.
