CTIA Numbers don’t add up
CTIA released its 2006 numbers at the show. Some of them don’t add up. For e.g. they noted 233M subs by end of 2006 however their ticker is showing 234M as of March 07 which is clearly incorrect. Secondly, they noted that service revenue was $15.2B. Again, the top 4 operators published that added up to $14.4B, rest of the industry (with over 43M subs) generally generates 10-15% which takes the numbers to $15.8B which we had earlier reported.
