One fifth of mobile phone owners worldwide have already experienced downloading content to their handsets, a percentage expected to rise to 60 per cent in the next 12 months. The survey - covering Europe, Asia Pacific, North and South America - also revealed that average monthly download spend per subscriber is currently EUR6.32, with more than 40 per cent of respondents expressing an expectation for it to rise next year."</i><br /><br />This always amazes me. Cingular, for example, wants $1.99 for a ring tone. Why are people clamoring to pay prices like that for ring tones?? My phone is on vibrate 99% of the time and judging from most of the ring tones I am forced to hear during the day others should follow my lead.
