has this anything to do with 02’s data network failing all over the place, i run a service that has operatives with pda’s and they struggle to connect to the network and when they do data rates are generally atrocious . shame o2 didnt back this up with increased data capacity in the cells. o2 really are dire when it comes to data services.

This article and it’s “incredible data revenue” headline is complete made-up rubbish. Neither the original FT article or Moconews claim anything of the sort. As has already been said, usage based revenue is non existant because the iPhone users are on flat-rate plans. The only reference to revenue is that the increased popularity of mobile web surfing gives O2 an opportunity to make money from mobile advertising.

I agree with Mark, why report 40-50 post how or if or maybee iphone sale ., when the most “trusted” business magasines reports iphone NOT sale good in Europe.

Like Mark say >Maybe we should wait until we get actual sales figures

Will, Will, Will…

First of all, Keys’ numbers are speculation since no hard data has been allowed (that’s right, allowed) to be issued by Apple or O2 on actual sales made. Secondly, your ‘other sources’ appear to be another article of similarly poor journalisitc quality where you make some rather odd Apple and Oranges comparisons. Thirdly, as has been mentioned, the data tariff is fixed at £7.50 per month so it matters not a jot how much traffic goes through it as no extra revenue will be generated.

Maybe we should wait until we get actual sales figures before opening the champagne, eh?

O2 customers are offered a very generous £7.50 per month unlimited data tariff, so although data usage must have surged since the iPhone was introduced it remains to be seen how profitable that actually is.
