slacker, If the mobile market remains limited to voice calls, then ATT and Cingular are going to waste about $8-10 Billion between them. Capacity, I assume. However, maybe it would be best to ask them. Another question, somewhat unrelated yet related, why do corporations upgrade approximately 1/3 of their computers every 3 years? The failure of the first PDA (the Newton) didnt stop PDA sales over the last five years Absolutely correct, however it did hurt Apple. Being the "first to market" is not necessarily a good thing. They generate somewhere between $12 million and $24 million a month. Not a success....but not a total failure either. At what price did PCS have to pay to receive this incremental revenue approaching at most 480M/year? Another point to consider, you have provided a huge %age range. I don't know the answer and haven't checked, however are revenues "growing" from data services? Is the user base growing? Are users "demanding" more data usage from their cellular phone? dave p.s. by the way, i edited my original post.
