Data Should Reveal U.S. Wireless Industry is Competitive, CTIA Says

摘要

CTIA, AT&T and Verizon Wireless urged the FCC to reverse course from the last two wireless ncompetition reports and find in its 2012 edition that the industry is effectively competitive. The n2011 and 2010 reports didn't find that the market is competitive. There are no signs that the nFCC will change the stance of the last two reports, both prepared under Chairman Julius nGenachowski, agency officials concede. "The U.S. wireless market continues to be one of the nmost competitive and least concentrated markets in the world," CTIA said (http://xrl.us/bmmjzi). nBy mid-year 2011, U.S. wireless carriers made cumulative capital expenditures of more than n$322 billion, CTIA said. The U.S. is now home to 21 percent of the world’s 3G and 4G nsubscribers and nearly 87 percent of its LTE subscribers, with 119 million 3G and 4G nsubscribers by year-end 2010 -- an increase of 19 million in a one-year period.
