GSM Global Subscribers Reach 2.5 Billion
Growing 400% after 6 years, Informa Telecoms & Media and 3G Americas report that GSM subscribers increase by about 1 million every single day, coming from 700 GSM networks operating in 218 countries! These 2.5 billion subscribers share 85% of the global wireless market.
"It's unprecedented for almost any global industry to achieve the growth and success demonstrated by the GSM family of technologies, with an estimated 2.5 billion global customers today," stated Chris Pearson, President of 3G Americas. "This level of wireless technology growth exceeds that of almost all other lifestyle-changing innovations."
HSPA (HSDPA/HSUPA) technology is poised to be the leading mobile broadband technology for the rest of the decade, outpacing alternative mobile broadband technologies by leveraging on the current installed base of the GSM family of technologies and providing the most efficient solution. It is expected that almost all GSM/EDGE operators will someday migrate to HSPA technology.
