What on earth happened to Sprint? 87% year-on-year subscriber increase during 3Q... this is almost as low as Nextel's number! Help me out, Mika Kukkanen - is any of England's four mobile operators this sluggish? I wonder whether MCI really got 100 billion dollars' worth of growth - it does look like Voicestream is pulling further ahead in pure growth.

Hmm....You seem intimately aware of the laws of large numbers when it comes to GSM overall growth rates but can't seem to comprehend it when it comes to PCS. GSM cant grow much faster than the overall world cell-phone growth rate....PCS can only grow so much faster than the overall US cell-phone growth rate. I am sure that PCS is quaking when confronted by the 100-150k subs that VSTR will add this quarter.

OTOH....I think that questions on why the overall US cell phone growth rate has lagged the rest of the world are perfectly valid. Do you have any links to GSM subs broken down by nation?

One other thing....I actually enjoy the sarcasm :-).
