According to U.S. Mobile Markets: Analysis & Forecasts, the latest report from consumer technology think-tank, The Diffusion Group, more than 236 million U.S. consumers will subscribe to some form of mobile telephone service by 2010, an increase in demand brought on by (1) continued expansion of 2.5G and 3G networks in major metropolitan areas, and (2) new demand for improved access technologies that enable push email and other services across converged networks.

“Although net subscriber growth will continue to slow dramatically over the next five years, the promise of improved mobile access technologies and the new services they enable are cause for optimism,” says Ed Wallace, consulting analyst with The Diffusion Group. “New networks mean new services, and new services entail new sources of incremental revenue and a generally more “sticky” service offering, especially when bundled with wireline services.”
