CHICAGO, March 4 (Reuters) - Wireless service providers can expect to face intensifying competition in 2001 as they compensate for slowing subscriber growth by trying to lure away other's customers in a tough economy. Analysts said companies will have a much more challenging year compared with last year because they must deal with a tightening in consumer spending as well as the fact that more people already have wireless phones. At the end of 2000, about 40 percent of the U.S. population had mobile phones. -------------------- ok 40% already have one, 15% don't need one, 30% can't justify the cost, and the other 15% don't want one. Sounds like a great growth market!!!
