''According to Paul Kagan and Associates, only 29 percent of the United States has access to wireless services,' said Kerr. Even a G* bull like me has trouble defending this figure. I checked out a few of Kagan's many web offerings. His company provides seminars, newsletters and "databooks" for entertainment, cable and wireless industries among others. For 795$ you can buy UPDATED & EXPANDED 8TH EDITION NOW AVAILABLE! Market Ownership and Demographic Data for 734 Cellular Markets in the U.S. and Territories kagan.com One would like to think those in a position to pay his rates feel they get what they pay for. However, according to Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association statistics as of 12/98, the US industry had 66K "Cell sites" (and a cum. cap. investment of over 60B$(!)) If each cell site covered a five mile radius with no overlap they would cover 150% of the total lower 48 states area. Of course, there's a LOT of overlap, and we know that plenty of areas don't have coverage, but 70% of the US? (especially excluding Alaska, which G* also doesn't cover) Any telecom wonks care to comment?
