Tero, <<"VoiceStream Wireless had 1.8 million customers at the end of the first quarter 2000, comprised of 1.3 million monthly subscribers and over 500 thousand prepaid customers. This represents an increase of 334% over total customers at the end of the first quarter of 1999." >> You need to be careful when wireless providers report YOY sub numbers and/or include acquisitions in their total customer numbers. The traditional gauge of growth is QOQ sub growth, which provides a clear picture of how many new customers were added. This number was not provided and I haven't been able to find it. SBC did this same thing in Q3 1999, hiding they only added 126,000 subs on about Page 18 of their quarterly report. FYI, Cooters
