I found this article, and thought, "could this be true?" but then as I continued to read, found the title very misleading. Sure, texting may be decling a little (down by like 25, whoo hoo), but really what this article is getting at is thanks to apps (skype) that allows you to text for free, you can get around having to pay for it with your phone company.
But texting is so big, that it "represented 19% of wireless carriers' data sales" (Goldman). Somehow I thought that percentage would be higher. Nevertheless, this shiz costs $1250 per megabyte (at 20 cents a msg). Gone are the days where we used to just call each other up?
