it is never possible to be the fastest growing (percentagewise) part of a market and still be losing market share.

Ok, we are in agreement on the above part now.

BUT!!! It is possible to be the fastest growing part and have a slower growing part be growing their market share faster. All it requires is a stagnant or better yet, shrinking third part of the market.

But I still respectfully disagree on your second point. As long as "X" is growing at a fast rate than "Y", its relative percentage gain, or percentage loss as the case may be, will never look worse in comparison to the slower growing "Y"s relative percentage gain or loss, irregardless of what the growth rate of the third component, "Z", does. Please try your scratch pad example again. I believe your results will confirm my conclusions.

Of course by relative percentage gains and losses, I am referring to the 22.3% gain in GSM market share of the overall wireless market and the 4.2% gain in CDMA market share of the overall wireless market (that Eric referred to) as opposed to the absolute percentage point gains or losses for both GSM and CDMA that Eric referred to in his post as 12.6% and 1/2% respectively.

Best, Huey
