If you’re an old fart like me, you’re probably not a giant sender/receiver of text messages on your cell phone. My kids send them like crazy.
The Chinese, however, send even more. In 2008, China Mobile (CHL: 50.48 -0.39 -0.77%) subscribers sent 607 BILLION text messages.
That is a mountain of text messages and a very lucrative piece of business for China Mobile.
