"Mobile phone operator Orange is also likely to be active after it announced it added 2.6 million customers in the first quarter. This is a sharp improvement from the 0.8 percent like-for-like sales growth in the previous 3 quarters. Shares were little changed in Paris." ftmarketwatch.com slacker- Do you have any idea how Orange (a UK based mobile wireless SP) managed to add 2.6 million customers in a single quarter? Do you have a feel for whether these are new customers or were they mainly taken from competitors? In reading the article, it's very unclear where these customers came from. Thanks. -MikeM(From Florida)

Re: Mobile Wireless - China Stats "Unicom's state-owned parent, China United Communications Corp., is quite literally gearing up to invest $2.42 billion to enlarge a tiny hodgepodge of experimental CDMA networks into a unified system with the capacity for 14 million subscribers. ... China has about 85 million mobile phone subscribers already, and that base is expanding by a sizzling 60 percent a year. So in just a few years, nearly a fifth of the nation's 1.3 billion people will be toting handsets." slacker- Do you have any comments on the above excerpts about the marketplace in China. Do you think the planned spending of $2.42 billion is for real? And, do you think 85 million figure is accurate? Also, I believe you know the CDMA stats on China. Could you give an update? Thanks. -MikeM(From Florida)
