About BlackBerry data usage

A Telkomsel executive said BlackBerry users typically use 200MB of data per month thanks to the data compression in use by BlackBerry Internet Service. If they pay Rp 5000/day, that’s 150k/month. If I pay 150k per month, I expect to get more than 5GB of data allowance per month since I currently pay 100k/month for 3.6GB for my general mobile data usage.

Same executive also said he expects BlackBerry data usage to grow to an average of 600MB per subscriber beginning with the Z10. And current BlackBerry users worry that they’re gonna have to pay more for data per month if they switch to BlackBerry 10?
