A study from wireless billing vendor Validas has revealed that Verizon Wireless smartphone owners are now exceeding the data usage of iPhone owners, who are currently restricted to AT&T. According to the study, average data consumption on Verizon smartphones is 421 MB as opposed to 338 MB on the iPhone. Out of all the vendors, Verizon Wireless has seen the largest data usage increase over the past year, jumping from 33.4% to 42.9%.
Since Blackberry devices were excluded from the study (and they compress data anyway), that leaves Windows Mobile, Android, Symbian and Palm's webOS to blame (or thank?) for the Verizon phones' data-hogging ways. But given Motorola's extremely strong Droid sales, most of that data usage is likely to have occurred with Droid devices like the Motorola Droid.
The 2009-2010 Validas study looks at year-over-year trends in wireless data usage across U.S. carriers. The data was drawn from 20,000 consumer wireless bills, analyzed from January through May 2010. To be clear, Validas did not detail the Droid's data usage in the study versus the other phones. We're assuming Droid data usage surpassed data usage on other phones. Below we explain why that assumption is a likely one.
