China's 12 Billion New Year's SMS Messages
A UPI newswire article, via PhysOrg.com, reports that:
Telecom officials in Beijing forecast 12 billion text messages were sent over the weeklong Chinese New Year holiday.
The estimate was made public by China's Ministry of Information Industry on Jan. 29, the first day of "Year of the Dog" or "Spring Festival" celebrations. The ministry estimate runs until Feb. 4, the end of the official seven-day break.
Figures provided by government body are however only a fraction of the real data service surge going on over a 40-day period before, during and after China's biggest holiday, which has been described as combining the West's Christmas and New Year festivities rolled into one big bash.
