Currently there are more than 130 3G systems (WCDMA & CDMA2000 1X EV-DO) in operation, and another 36 carriers have purchased 3G infrastructure (but haven't commercially launched it for one reason or another). 3/23/2006 Service Provider Strategies http://www.instat.com/catalog/pcatalogue.asp?id=37#IN0602211TX Traditional wireline service revenues in the US remain on an overall negative trend. Revenue shrinkage is fueled primarily by steep declines in consumer voice services expenditures, where In-Stat forecasts a CAGR of negative 8.5% between 2004 and 2009. Business voice services are also experiencing negative CAGR, but significantly below that of consumer. Long-distance revenues are decreasing at a much faster pace than local-service revenues, as many users rely on their wireless service for long-distance calls. 3/17/2006 Networking Quarterlies - Ethernet Switches http://www.instat.com/Catalog/Ncatalogue.asp?id=80#IN0602891LS This report examines the Ethernet switch market for 4Q05.
