Following are brief excerpts from "CDMA Wireless Business Opportunities."
Executive Summary:
"in order to catch up with GSM, CDMA players must concentrate their efforts in three key areas: 1). converting analog subscribers to digital, 2). growing wireless data, and 3). interoperating with GSM. . .
. . . Growing the wireless data market will benefit the CDMA industry because it expands the universe of potential users to not only people but things.
Viewed from this perspective, the markets of the U.S. and Japan are vastly larger than those of China and India. Every automobile, gas pump, ATM machine, vending machine, and security system is a potential CDMA user."
