The number of mobile text, picture, and video messages sent in the Asia-Pacific region will cross 3.5 trillion this year, up 14% from last year and making up almost 50% of the global messaging market of 7.5 trillion. The U.S., China, and Indonesia occupy the top three ranks globally. India’s traffic this year will be around 328.4 billion.
