“We have very much hit a watershed moment in terms of mobile Internet usage.  We are seeing that mobile Internet use is in fact accelerating.  The growing availability of flat-rate data plans from phone carriers instead of per-minute charges that previously discouraged Internet use, along with improved Web browsers on mobile phones as well as better-designed services from companies like Google are fueling the growth,” said Google’s Matt Waddell.
