Does anyone have mobile carrier market share data for Europe (and Asia) on a country by country basis (top 3 or anyone with >15% marketshare)? Unfortunately, I think you normally have to pay to get access to country by country subscriber data. Don't know why I didn't check here first. According to this, the 4 UK companies are neck and neck in number of subscribers! Love the 121% penetration rate. That means some folks can have an iPhone in one pocket and their favorite 3G phone in the in their other. en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org I hope that O2 means Telefonica is also signed on to Spain. Aside from the big 3, Italy is another bigger country that bears watching. Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, and Poland seem to be other larger countries that haven't made the news yet but add good incremental sales. Those might have to wait till after the big Asian deals... Oh, and they'll be potentially big...China, Japan, Korea to start, then India, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc. ... en.wikipedia.org I'm a little disappointed by the late start date, as I was hoping to get a quarter of European sales, and looks like it will only be half (though pent up demand will likely bump early numbers like in the US). I'm thinking the iSupply number of 4.5M for '07 is going to be a tough stretch now. Somewhere in the 3.5-4M range might be where I'd be guessing now.
