SYNOPSIS

U.S. Mobile Market Intelligence is a desktop resource for crafting marketing strategies and presentations.

It profiles 18 key industry players and offers analysis on local-number portability, Wi-Fi, Push-to-Talk, and wire-line cannibalization.

“If you do business in the U.S. mobile phone industry, then this is a resource you need to understand what consumers want, who is providing it to them, which players are thriving and which players are struggling just to survive,” said John Barrett, Research Analyst for Parks Associates.
