"BII REPORT: Here's What Smartphone Users Are Doing With Their Phones

  • ". . . mobile now accounts for 12 percent of Americans' media consumption time, triple its share in 2009."
  • "Time spent on apps dwarfs time spent on the mobile Web, and smartphone owners now spend 127 minutes per day in mobile apps." 
  • Gaming is driving monetization and use of time. 
  • Nearly half of smartphone users manage social networks; mobility is critical to the continued success of Twitter and Facebook. 
  • Mobile video is the third most popular smartphone activity (which is starting to stress mobile network infrastructure).
