cdmaOne subscribers Actually, that would be 23,141,593 as already predicted by moi early in 1998! Q! should reach 10 million handsets produced about 1 am on 12 March. 1 January 2000 there should be 51,415,927 cdmaOne subscribers around the world! I realize that seems a rapid growth rate, but the cdmaOne networks around the USA will be well built out and while the avalanche from analogue did get underway, there were handset production capacity problems. Handset and minute prices were still in free fall so the full tsunami should get underway this year. Japan will start to kick in, Australia, China, Brazil, Mexico and all the others will be steaming ahead. Things could actually go faster than that, but Nokia and others won't be able to get production up fast enough. Infrastructure sales continue fast and are filling in gaps in existing networks while extending them. The more the gaps are filled, the faster the conversion to cdmaOne. The MSM 3000 is really going to give things a kick along. If the Thin Phone and pdQ get going, that will accelerate sales too. Things are looking good. The fun has begun! Mqurice
