Ringtone Statistics: Annual Revenue of 2.1 Billion Dollars!

We have spotted some interesting Ringtone statistics before. We had digested that particular stat as a "less than a billion USD" business - we spotted this today:

"More than 10 years after Napster, one of the key pillars of the music business is ringtones, a business that peaked around 2005, when some of you would have recognized the image at the top right of this post.

If you’re reading this, you probably haven’t paid for a ringtone since 2007, and you probably don’t know anyone who does. But there it is, generating two-point-one-billion dollars."
