  • More than 75% of mobile subscribers in Japan are connected media users (identified as those who used their browser, accessed applications or downloaded content), far exceeding their U.S. and European counterparts. Japan also saw nearly 10% of its mobile audience make a purchase with their mobile wallet in December 2010.
