re: GSM Sub Growth

Has GSM sub growth hit the wall?

               Quarter Ending

               Jun-00  Sep-00  Dec-00  Mar-01  Jun-00  Sep-00   

Total Subs     337.1   361.7   455.1   503.5   553.9   590.3     
Net Adds         -      24.6    93.4    48.4    50.4    36.4
Q % Growth       -       7.3%   25.8%   10.6%   10.0%    6.6%


Where's Santa?

- Sub numbers are being scrubbed (prepaid)
- Prepaid phone subsidies eliminated
- Postpaid subsidies reduced
- High penetration in traditional strong markets
- TDMA to GSM conversions will not impact materially till 2003

Still, the user base increased 253.2 million (+75% in 15 months).
