Article Abstract:

The US represents the biggest mobile phone market world wide, with nearly 80 million subscribers, but, while more than 50% of Scandinavians have mobile phones, and 37% of Japanese, penetration has reached only 26% of the US population. Smart services are less common in the US than in Europe, and digital accounts for only 30% of the market, a slower rate of upgrading than in Europe and Hong Kong. This is partly due to competition between standards in the US. The convention of charging people who receive calls also affects the development of the US market.
