Key Highlights from the 2024 Annual Survey:

• Record Wireless Data Demand: Americans used over 100 trillion MBs of wireless data in 2023, marking the first time exceeding this milestone, driven by 5G adoption and the largest single-year increase in data use.

• 5G Growth and Adoption: Nearly 40% of wireless devices are now 5G-connected, with over 558 million wireless connections in the US, more than one every 1.6 Americans.

• Significant Investments: The wireless industry has invested more than $700 billion cumulatively, with $30 billion in 2023 alone, making it the second-largest source of direct investment in the US economy.

• Spectrum Challenges: The FCC lacks authority to auction more spectrum, limiting future wireless growth, especially in mid-band, which is critical for 5G deployments.

• Economic and Social Benefits: 5G is fostering innovation across sectors like manufacturing and healthcare, supporting economic competitiveness and helping bridge the digital divide by offering real choice and reducing costs for consumers.

• Future Outlook: Data usage is projected to increase by more than three times by 2029, with continued investment and network expansion needed to meet demand and maintain America's leadership in wireless technology.
