michael- Note the different interpretation of your post from Tero on the Nokia thread. I guess it is a game of percentages. 118% for Sprint from a small base vs. 13% for ATT from a much larger base. Or maybe the difference is "sequential" percentage gain (your post) vs. year over year gain (Tero's post). Still the slant is quite strikingly different. Here is the post you put up - I guess from the PCS thread- A quick comparison between the largest CDMA operator and the largest TDMA operator in the U.S. during Q4. Sprint PCS added 830K net subs, AT&T Wireless added about 780K TDMA subs. Relative to Q3, this was up 118 % for Sprint and 13 % for AT&T. Simply incredible. I knew that T was having trouble getting enough tri-mode handsets, but this is ridiculous. This will be a fun year... </> Here is the post from Tero on the Nokia thread. To: Paul Shread (1386 ) From: tero kuittinen Monday, Jan 25 1999 10:53AM ET Reply # of 1389 Let's keep the eyes on the ball - AT&T's mobile subscription growth was stellar 90% in the 4Q. That's nearly three times higher than the annual growth rate from 1998, reflecting steep acceleration towards the end of the year. Motorola is still 6-8 months from launching a new tri-mode phone. Until then, Nokia will keep a lock on the Digital One Rate plan customers that are currently flooding in. This week could be rough. Ericsson announces 25 hours before Nokia and it's impossible to foresee how Wall Street might react to bad phone sales figures. Will they take it as a sign of Nokia's substantial market share gains? Or will they interprete it as an omen of an industry slow-down and panic? Both scenarios have been seen in the recent past. It ain't over until Friday morning 5 AM EST when Nokia announces - set your alarm clock for 4.50! Tero Message 7466826
