To aid you in your mathematical circumgyrations regarding handset projections, Newaves magazine states that in February Sprint signed up its 1 millionth subscriber, and that at the end of 1997 Primeco had 387000 subscribers. The problem in doing future extrapolation is that as these two major customers improve their systems and roaming agreements, the incremental addition of more subscribers accelerates. In addition, BEL and ATI are now promoting their digital services more aggressively.

As an aside, my sister-in-law was just here from Miami, using her Primeco phone, roaming in analog mode on ATI. The reception was fine and there were NO GLITCHES, son of a gun, the system works!! To add icing on the cake, she changed planes in Houston and called us on her QCP 820 from the airport. Looks to me that this works very much like a national footprint even though it is a bit of a patchwork. The real good news is that if she can work the system, the rest of us technologically challenged types have a good chance of figuring out how to push the right buttons to work the phone.
