carranza2, re: Subscriber Growth by Technology - CY2000 << usually calm poster >> A good rant is always good for the soul. <g> At about the time that your "cabal" post hit here, I had just stumbled across the official CDG CY2000 sub figures ... Slacker commented "over there" that "I think you took that 80m number pretty calmly." In actuality I think my blood pressure went up more than a few notches ... Here is the Final Score Card ================================ MOBILE WIRELESS SUBSCRIBER STATS ================================ Through end of December, 2000 Total Worldwide Subscribers (millions) 633 = digital (excludes ESMR & PHS) 69.3 = analog 702.3 = total mobile wireless (excludes ESMR & PHS) CDMA = 11.45% of all (up from 1999) CDMA = 12.71% of digital (down from 1999) ================================ TDMA: 35.1 M to 61 M subs + 73.8% YOY Growth GSM: 254.4 M to 440.7 M subs + 73.3 % YOY Growth CDMA: 50.1 M to 80.44 M subs + 60.6% YOY Growth ================================ Source: EMC with their numbers of total subs reduced by official UWCC counts for TDMA and CDG's official counts of CDMA. EMC reported 637.8 million digital subs but estimated 81.9 M (instead of 80,44 M) for CDMA, and 64.3 M (instead of 61 M) for TDMA. I have reduced EMC's number by 4.8 M to 633 Million. Feel free to check my math. Not my forte. As I said ... I think CDMA needs a Cabal! <g> - Eric -
