Re: Worldwide Mobile Wireless Stats
Thread- Now here's a chart of figures I found most interesting. I believe many in North America think CDMA is king. But far from it. As it stands today, CDMA is kind of in fourth place in worldwide usage. I have to say, after I finished typing all stats (courtesy of Wired magazine), it does make one wonder if Globalstar might not be such a bad idea afterall.<g>
And I also wonder, how is a world standard going to be established for mobile wireless data applications when there are so many entrenched interests? -MikeM(From Florida)
