eMarketer reveals in its ‘North America Wireless Report’ that the number of mobile phones in the US is approaching 125 million making it one of the largest wireless markets in the world.
Growth of wireless opportunities will be strong, says eMarketer thanks to a growing user base of young people and increasing corporate demand for ‘telecommuter support’. Despite this, the growth of wireless in North America is not expected to approach that of the markets in Asia and Europe.
