Yes, This is a fact considering the current scnario. Major chunk of revenues the wireless carriers are generating, is coming from web browsing on mobiles.

People around the world are increasingly becoming busier day by day and thus everybody wants to be able to check mails or other stuff while they are on the move so that they can concentrate on more important things when they are at their work places. Hence, they are increasingly using web on their mobiles.

Verizon, which leads U.S. wireless operators with its 60 percent 3G subscriber penetration, saw the most growth in 3G usage and the most data revenue — $2.6 billion for the quarter.
