Do you mean DataCommResearch that were employed by the CDG?
The report is totally inaccurate, proven by a graph (printed in Telecommunications magazine, if correct of course) that showed GSM subscriber bas being pretty flat mid 1998 (if I remember correctly, it was under 80 million). Well, we now know what happened in mid 1998. Ira Brodsky's (?), it seems he may be DataCommResearch, statements are already false and it's less than a year, e.g., in Asia, what is the largest market? GSM is not a factor in the US cellular market? Funny, haven't seen any GSM-CDMA overlay networks.
I hasten to add that GSM growth is not just down to Nokia's handsets (sorry Tero). We stand at around 130 million GSM users today, growing at between 5 to 6 million per month. GSM growth has so far been a disappointment in the USA.
Okay, I'll calm down now and sneek back to my home (unless I am rebuked of course).
Have a good weekend all,
;)
