The BofA RS&Co downgrade of Ericy focused on handset margin decreases due to increased competition and slowed subscriber growth rates. They mention the credible showings in the handset market by qcom, phillips, sony and talk about the Koreans intent on becoming significant suppliers. The Korean Ministry of telecom estimates the Koreans will produce 9M phone in 2001, 5M will be for export. RS&Co estimates 450M digital subs by 2001

estimates for digital phone sales (in millions of phones) are:
1997 1998 2001
103 131 260

They point out the important of tie handset manufacturer sales to subscriber growth of which estimates vary significantly. Weakness in asian growth will have have an obvious impact.
