Perhaps it is. However, when you add in the potential of data delivery, its a much, much bigger market. I think WCOM has said that the wireless voice business is expected to grow 4X over the next several years while the data side is expected to grow 7X on top of that. Now it is from a smaller base but I know that I use data much more often that voice. For example, I am on-line for hours a day vs less than 1 hour usually for voice. I already pay $50/month for my ADSL line vs $20 for voice (doesn't include long distance which is going away anyway and already has for domestic wireless). I expect my data charges will creep up as I expand my speed over time while my voice gets bundled in.
