USA - Wireless Market - Major Operators - Document Details

By early 2007 the US wireless market remained dominated by AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel, together accounting for 75% market share. T-Mobile USA, Alltel and US Cellular make up the next tier, accounting for around 20%. In 3G networks, Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel were dominating with their CDMA2000 technologies, with subscriber numbers outstripping those on the WCDMA technology offered by AT&T Mobility. However, the launch of HSDPA enhancements by AT&T Mobility had begun to significantly close that gap. The next battle looming is in 4G technology, with Sprint Nextel on the verge of a WiMAX deployment to 85% of the largest US markets, while other carriers, notably Verizon Wireless, contemplate LTE strategies. Wireless data is accounting for an increasing share of company revenues and will continue to do so as wireless broadband services and mobile TV gather momentum. This report provides analysis and statistics on the US wireless market, together with brief overviews and key operating data of the major operators.
