Marginmike Take a real close look. From the text, CDMA is gaining market share from both GSM and TDMA.(1997 82.0%, 8.6%, 9.3% GSM/CDMA/TDMA to 2003 61.4%, 25.6%, 12.9%) Clever mix of years and subscribers to make GSM look healthier than it is. Then again, I could not get a 52% share for GSM in 2003 so maybe my fingers are not tickling the correct keys. from the posted article: << Of the three dominant worldwide PCS technologies-Global System for Mobile communications, Code Division Multiple Access and Time Division Multiple Access-GSM is expected to experience the most rapid growth, increasing from 71 million subscribers at the end of last year to more than 364 million in 2003, fueled by growth in Western Europe and Asia. GSM networks will support 52 percent of all subscribers worldwide by 2003, Strategis predicted. CDMA also is projected to experience substantial subscriber growth, adding nearly 134 million subscribers between 1998 and 2003. CDMA subscribers are expected to more than double by the end of this year to 17.8 million, from the 7.4 million counted at the end of last year. TDMA is expected to see slower growth than the other digital technologies, increasing from 8.1 million subscribers in 1997 to 76.4 million in 2003. >> Jeff Vayda
