WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Americans used just over 100 trillion megabytes of wireless data in 2023, up 36% over the prior year in the largest single-year increase in wireless data consumption, according to an industry survey released Tuesday.
The increase — 26 trillion MBs over 2022 — comes as a growing number of 5G wireless devices are being used, said wireless industry association CTIA that represents major wireless carriers like Verizon, AT&T, T Mobile and technology firms. The total number of wireless connections rose to 558 million last year, up 6% over 2022.
