Zeev, I was thinking about calculating the miles of Interstate highways in the US and dividing that by the distance between cells to get the total number, but then thought that perhaps a more reliable number could be had by finding some reference to it somewhere on the net.

I hope that the rate of growing single crystals is not the rate determining step in production <G> eocenter.com EDIT: From the above" "However, only a few suppliers worldwide have production capacities greater than 100 wafers per month. Two to four times this capacity is needed to support installation of cryoelectronic TTAs in 10 percent of all new base-station installations. " Seppo

Zeev, I think that by now we have many more cells than the 10K. I noticed the following line in the report from Seppo's post, that seems to date the report to 1994. "Only one of thes 24 year-old Intermagnetics General, Latham, N.Y., the oldest of them all- is expected to be profitable in 1994. Most will probably not be profitable in 1995 either. Total 1994 estimated revenues for these six companies is approximately $80 million, with the bulk of it coming from Intermagnetics ($52 million)." DG
