  4. GSM/3G Fast Facts The GSM family of technologies embraces GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA & HSPA, all fully open standards 670 commercial GSM networks in over 200 countries/territories Almost 1.8 billion GSM subscribers (31.03.06) - Asia leads the way with 650 million subscribers 387 million GSM subscribers added in 2005, which is 100 million higher than added in 2004 GSM increased market share by 3% in 2005; accounts for 77.7% of the world’s cellular market GSM outsold its nearest competitor cdma by 7.7 times globally in 2005 Approaching 1700 GSM phone models from over 100 vendors Approaching two-thirds of global total of 163 3G/WCDMA license holders launched services 105 commercial 3G/WCDMA networks in 47 countries 315 WCDMA terminal devices launched; 25 also support HSDPA Over 55 million WCDMA subscribers (31.03.06) WCDMA was responsible for over 30% of new mobile subscriptions in Western Europe in 2005 79 WCDMA operators evolving to HSDPA in 43 countries; 14 commercial launches 139 commercial GSM/EDGE networks in 78 countries, from total of 192 EDGE deployments in 102 countries 212 GSM/EDGE terminal devices announced 67 operators are deploying combined EDGE-WCDMA networks: 36 in commercial service 48 terminal devices support EDGE & WCDMA Subscriber numbers source: Informa Telecoms & Media

  5. China GSM grew over 54 mil subs in past 12 months = over 1 million/week Cdma added under 5 mil subs in the same period The global GSM success story GSM subscribers in Asia Pacific reached 650 million in March 2006 (521 million March 2005 = 24.7% annual growth) GSM grew 11 times more than cdma in the year to March 2006

  6. The global GSM success story continued … India India reached almost 64 million GSM subscribers at 31.03.06 GSM has 77.5% market share GSM additions = 22.7 million in 12 months = over 55% growth Cdma added 8 million in same period

  7. The global GSM success story continued … Africa: 146 million (62.6% annual growth) Americas: Canada and USA 85 million (35% annual growth) Latin America and the Caribbean 144 million (92.6% annual growth) Europe: Eastern Europe 289 million (48.9% annual growth) Western Europe 426 million (8.1% annual growth) Middle East: 51.4 million (63.5% annual growth)

  9. 105 Commercial WCDMA Operators in 47 countries 40 WCDMA networks launched commercial services during 2005, confirming WCDMA as the leading 3G standard Source: GSA survey published March 24, 2006

  10. 315 WCDMA/HSDPA devices - launched by 38 suppliers Source: GSA survey published February 28, 2006

  11. Strong WCDMA subscriber growth Over 55 million WCDMA subs at 31 March 06 Approaching 140% yearly growth Over 3 million adds monthly in last 6 months WCDMA gained over 10% share of mobile growth in Asia Q1 06 WCDMA gained 1 in 3 new connections in Western Europe in Q1 06

  12. WCDMA growth outperforming analogue and GSM WCDMA growing at faster rate than GSM at equivalent stage of deployment WCDMA is mature Wide choice and availability of WCDMA devices WCDMA is the leading 3G standard globally

  13. EDGE – global, mature technology Two-thirds of the global total of GPRS live networks have committed to the EDGE upgrade Source: GSA survey published March 24, 2006

  20. EDGE Evolution – drivers and goals Operators tell us service continuity is very important: WCDMA evolution to HSDPA a key driver for EDGE Evolution Reducing the performance gap is the priority • EDGE Evolution - potential benefits: • 2 – 3 times increase in EDGE bit rates • 2 – 3 times spectral efficiency gain (for voice & data capacity) • Halve the latency (roundtrip time) • All achieved with low impact on the GSM/EDGE network

  21. Conclusions • GSM is a huge success in China and throughout the world • Open standards is the key enabler, stimulating market take up, massive economies of scale, competition, innovation, and roaming • 3GPP roadmap continues the open standards philosophy with EDGE, WCDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA and beyond (LTE) • GSM/EDGE is mature, global, and mainstream • WCDMA operators who received UMTS licenses in the first wave during 1999-2002 have reached the commercial phase • WCDMA is mainstream and the leading 3G mobile system globally • Rapidly increasing variety, competitiveness and availability of user devices – phones, PC data cards, are key factors in driving market acceptance • The importance of combined WCDMA-EDGE deployments for service continuity (the best user experience) is understood and evident globally • 3G/WCDMA operators are moving to HSDPA now – the path to mobile broadband
