CTIA letter refutes OECD
A letter [
pdf, 1.52MKB] to the FCC, the CTIA (the US wireless association) refuted the OECD study that ranked the US dead last in its wireless rankings.What makes the letter especially interesting is that it was sent in mid-May, long before the OECD's ridiculous results. The CTIA stats aren't produced by the industry association; the bulk of the tables are sourced from Merrill Lynch's quarterly Global Wireless Matrix report.
Among the statements that you will find:
- the US has the lowest average cost per minute [Canada is ranked 5th]
- the US ranks right behind Britain in market share for top two wireless service providers [Canada ranks 4th]
