The document discusses how mobile internet adoption, as exemplified by the iPhone and iTouch, has ramped up faster than desktop internet adoption in the early years of services like AOL and Netscape. Data on the number of subscribers after the first 20 quarters of each service launching is presented, showing that the iPhone had over 8 million subscribers compared to under 18 million for Netscape. This suggests that mobile internet adoption is accelerating compared to earlier desktop internet trends, with Apple playing a leading role in this shift.
