Mobile Comm: Over A Billion Served?
It's agreed upon in many circles that the next billion mobile customers are going to come mostly from developing nations including India, China and a few other Asian countries and very likely a number of African countries (some are already heavily moving into VoIP and looking at phone number portability).
