The mobile communications industry's frenzied efforts to reinvent itself as a mobile entertainment business will continue apace at this month's CTIA Wireless in Orlando This is despite the fact that the vast majority of revenue growth - both for the operator and vendor communities - is coming out of developing markets where mobile is fulfilling a basic need for voice and text-based communications

In the mature markets of Europe, North America and Asia the search continues for the new mobile applications and revenue streams that will compensate for the stagnating voice business.

Nevertheless, the USA is forecast to be post the fourth fastest-highest number of net additions in 2007 behind India, China and Pakistan.

"We forecast 480.5 million global net adds this year, with almost 21 million new users coming from the USA, equivalent to 4.3% of the global total", says Gavin Patterson, Principal Analyst at Informa Telecoms and Media.
