Bet that the market for PCs was small back in the 60's :-)

What will really drive cellular data transmission is the marketplace. Currently, according to a market survey published in the July `93 {Cellular Business Magazine}, about 5% of U.S. cellular customers sometimes do data transmission over cellular. Of those who do data tranmission, the data is said to account for about 11% of their billable minutes. The demand is said to be increasing in the future but the current numbers probably look too small for many cellular operating companies to target the data transmitting customer. The major motivation for companies in going to NAMPS or TDMA and eventually CDMA is to relieve congestion and/or increase the number of voice customers that can be billed.
