US Wireless Booming

The Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA), the US wireless industry trade group, released their semi-annual study. According to their study the wireless space is a bright spot in the US telecom slump with revenues up 22.6%. Data revenues more than doubled in 2001 from 2000 and wireless subscribers used more minutes in the last half of 2001 than all of 2000. Clearly wireless has arrived. But have we caught up with Europe and if so does that mean growth will be flat from here on out? Maybe in terms of voice, but data, particularly SMS, still have plenty of room to grow here.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
