Actually EricL, CDMA subscribers were expected to be 70 million for 2000, not 100 million [projections given at the beginning of the year according to Irwin Jacobs and CDG - I had the idea that they'd get 100m but I didn't see anyone else thinking that].
Also, thanks for pointing out that CDMA infrastructure sales exceeded the GSM world's. That's quite a watershed!

cfoe,
<< Does anyone know of a source for total CDMA infrastructure $ spent by year >>
I'd like to find that myself. Right now I'm digging into infra orders and revenue market share by vendor - all technologies - for CY2000.
I do have some data for the last 6 months book (not bill) for 1x, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS. Not totally verified but I think reasonably accurate.
* Worldwide orders for 2.5G and 3G infrastructure placed in the six months ended December 31, 2000 totalled $17.35 billion USD. Ericsson.the big winner (43% of the UMTS/WCDMA market for that period).
* GSM based equipment (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS) accounted for more than $16.6 billion. $740 million was contributed by five contracts for 1xRTT infrastructure ($565 million to Motorola and $175 million to Nortel).> |
