Increase in Global Wireless Subscribers and Minutes of Use. The number of global wireless subscribers and minutes of use per subscriber are expected to continue to increase. The primary drivers include increased subscription, increased voice minutes of use per subscriber and the growing use by subscribers of data applications. Third generation data applications have been introduced in the developed countries and this has fueled an increase in minutes of data use. We believe that this growth, due to new data services, will continue for the next two to three years
