john, I don't know where the links are but I will start looking. From past stories I've read recently I believe this market is today approximately $125 billion a year projected to grow to over $250 Billion by 2004. It's big and the numbers may be a little bit different than shown here but I think it's pretty close. Pretty staggering wouldn't you say! regards, Eric

If Eric can answer this question then more power to him. There are a number of differing reports regarding the size of a variety of market segments. To try to get your arms around the overall communications market is almost impossible. Do you include broadcast media? Wireless? Cellular? Where do you draw the line? Do you include in-home networking? What about companies like @home or WebTV??? John, I won't even gamble to guess...needless to say we are well into the hundreds of billions of $$$...maybe approaching a trillion even... The fact that voice is now converging onto data networks and being delivered by a variety of broadband delivery methods...are the existing estimates low??? In the end anyones guess is a good one....so long as it's over $300B.. OG
