A must read for all SHPS Investor's ! The following is an excerpt from a Telecommunications Industry Report . One of the world's leading industries is undergoing a revolution. Telecommunications is changing at an astounding speed, driven by the convergence of technologies and demand for high-speed data and media anytime and anywhere. Television, the Internet, and wireless technology are all converging enabling people to access all of these mediums through one wireless handset. The dramatic reshaping of these industries, requires a tremendous amount of investment in new technologies. The dynamic changes in the huge and growing sector offers potential investors excellent opportunities in the years ahead. When the telecommunications revolution began over a century ago, no one could have predicted where it would lead: telephones in nearly every household in the industrialized nations; the development of the radio, the broadcast television, cable television; the globe-spanning Internet; portable, personal satellite phones; the complete digitization of communications. U.S. Spending on Telecommunications topped $517 Billion in 1999 and according to MultiMedia Telecommunications Association forecasts, total U.S. spending for telecom equipment and services will grow to $794 billion in 2003. More broadly defined, the communications industry accounts for one seventh of the U.S. economy, a share worth $1 trillion annually and is growing at a rate twice as fast as the overall economy. By far, the fastest growing segment of the telecom market is in the burgeoning mobile and wireless sector. From its invention only twenty years ago, to today the number of users continues to grow exponentially. According to the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association, US wireless subscribers for the 12 month period ending June 1999 were up 26 percent over the previous year, totaling over 76 million. Wireless communications services - including analog cellular, digital cellular, personal communications services (PCS), pagers, specialized mobile radio(SMR) and low-orbiting satellites - are easier and cheaper to establish than wireline services and are becoming increasingly important on a global scale. Additionally, prices for wireless products and services dropped dramatically over the last decade and currently more than 40 percent of U.S. households own either a wireless phone or a pager. Adoption and usage rates are even higher in some European countries. SHPS is a very promising opportunity in the telecom sector. Emerging Markets - Hot Spot For Wireless Growth Demand for wireless communications will grow even faster in developing markets as entire economies bypass analog technology and jump straight to digital. More than 2 of the six billion people in the world have yet to place a single phone call. Global telecommunication companies see these numbers as tremendous opportunities, and they are all hoping to be major players in the developing economies of regions such as: Latin America, South East Asia and Africa. Because of favorable trade rules for telecommunications with and a surge of privatization initiatives, companies operating in Latin American offer perhaps some of the most promising investment opportunities. As the wireless industry continues to grow exponentially, there are a variety of ways to profit from this growth. Aside from companies digging up roads to lay down fiber optic cable, new technologies are enabling more flexible satellite and airborne networks as an alternative to underground fiber optics. SHPS is an emerging market play in the wireless sector. RESEARCH LINKS AccessTel, a CLEC and Wireless company, is RM-ing into SHPS.
