Opera have published their monthly look at the mobile web, which even though it has a focus on the Norwegian browser company, is a nice snapshot of growth, both their own and that of the mobile web. From their 50.5 million users, the top countries for Opera Mini, their java based browser, were Russia, Indonesia, India and China.
My favourite statistic is the compression used to minimise the bandwidth required by Opera Mini. As the data passes through their servers, they have an accurate number for this. The compressed data passed was 330 million MB. If this had been uncompressed, it would have represented 3 petabytes. Would that have counted as fair use?
