Description

Cellular phones capable of operating around the world are relatively common. These "world" phones offer great convenience for anyone wanting to stay connected while traveling between continents. However, as this report points out, actual usage for inter-continental roaming has yet to reach its market potential, and growth will be limited, at least for the near-term.

This report includes details about "world" phone end users, travel trends, descriptions of the various types of handsets, current shipments and five-year forecasts.

In addition, this report discusses the revenue generated from these handsets, the Minutes Of Use (MOU) and related service revenues, all with five-year forecasts. Moreover, barriers to growth and key market drivers are discussed.

So, if you need to find out what's happening with the "world" phone market, this report is a must-read.
