"BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 10, 2005--Strategy Analytics, the global research and consulting company, today released its Wireless Network Strategies updated global cellular market report, 'Worldwide Cellular User Forecast 2005-2010,' forecasting that the worldwide cellular user base will increase from 1.7 billion at the end of 2005 to 2.5 billion by the end of 2010, a 38 percent penetration rate. With average revenues falling 7 percent to $30 per user per month in 2005, Strategy Analytics expects further weakness in global ARPUs as increasingly prepaid-centric and low-ARPU China, India and other emerging markets remain the engine for user growth.
