Re: Interesting stat from In-Stat/MDR wireless poll
Very strange he should calculate 5.5% leaving SprintPCS since SprintPCS says it
lost 8.1% last quarter before WLNP (2.7% monthly churn rate), and
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/busine...llphone06.html
has a Morgan Stanley Analyst saying SprintPCS could lose 37%, but that is an
annual figure which would be 9.25% for a quarter.
Time will tell.

QUALCOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
====================
Agreed it is "interesting". Qualcomm is good at making CDMA chips, perhaps not
so good at predicting the telecom industry.
This is the same Qualcomm that even though its stock is now at a 52 week high,
it is only up to 25% of what it was 3 years ago.
Where is it written that Qualcomm is infallible on all issues? Even SprintPCS
can;t predict is churn rate correctly. It also predicted a decrease, but had an
increase last quarter (part of the reason for its stock price decline).
Everyone else is expecting churn rates to increase from WLNP, please to explain
why Qualcomm's man expects churn lower than existing rates?

Wow- PCS is second best- Phil's gotta be sweating this one out, because his
out-of-industry numbers don't match up.

This doesn't jive completely with the Morgan Stanley poll of customers that
will likely change carriers once LNP takes effect::
AT&T 43%
Sprint PCS 37%
T-Mobile 28%
Cingular 27%
Nextel 20%
Verizon 16%
Also, 34% of the subscribers that switch, will switch to Verizon. They
didn't list how many would go to each of the other companies.
So if Qualcomm is trying to push their CDMA agenda with these
statistics, then Sprint PCS messes them up.
What is true, is that the reason so many more people are leaving
the other carriers is the coverage issue, and this issue has been
aggravated by the TDMA to GSM conversion of AT&T and Cingular,
while it hasn't affected Verizon, Sprint, or Nextel. If the GSM carriers
could have delayed LNP for two years or so, then they would have
enough time to bring the GSM network up closer to the level of Verizon's
CDMA network. Don't underestimate how many subscribers are damn
angry about what AT&T and Cingular have done to their coverage with the
TDMA to GSM conversion.

Qualcomm quoted the research, they didn't do the research.
Comprende?

With the exception of Nextel, the churn numbers for 3Q2003 seem to
bear the In-Stat numbers out.

Be careful. America's Choice coverage isn't exclusively Verizon's cdma
network. Vast swaths of America's Choice coverage is actually others'
networks and all the caveats which that implies.
