GSM Association Sees One Billion 'G-Mails' this Month

The GSM Association has announced that one billion 'G-Mails' (GSM text
messages) will be sent over the airwaves by global GSM mobile phone
operators this month. The association predicts that this will grow at a
rate of 40-50 percent this year.

Services available from many of the world's GSM networks today - in
addition to simple user generated text message services - include news,
sport, financial, language and location based services, as well as many
early examples of mobile commerce such as stocks and share prices, mobile
banking facilities and leisure booking services.

The announcement follows a GSM Association decision taken last week in
Helsinki, Finland to create a Data Task Force to share operator
experiences on GSM data and text services, develop data standards to
promote interoperability and better customer experience in the non voice
GSM world and promote data roaming.
