Belated Happy 20th Birthday GSM!

Here are some interesting facts and figures:
  • On September 7, 1987, 15 telecoms signed an agreement that led to the development of the Global System for Mobile Communications (better known as GSM) standard.
  • Over 2.5 billion GSM phones have shipped
  • Last year, users made 7 trillion minutes of calls and 2.5 trillion text messages.
  • china mobilelinks is the world's largest mobile operator with 332 million customers.
  • The GSM Association will film a documentary celebrating these milestones, and have set up a website about it.
  • I, and most of the people I know, have never used a non-GSM mobile.
CDMA may be technically superior to GSM, but the people have voted with their money. I guess good marketing can pay off so well.
