Germany Mobile Market Statistics, 2001-2010

The overall market for mobile connections in Germany is maturing. However, we anticipate strong growth in 3G connections during the period, driven by the consumer appeal of sophisticated 3G handsets and operator marketing campaigns. SMS ARPU is expected to continue declining. However, we anticipate significant growth in data (non-SMS) ARPU, driven by the increased popularity of multimedia messaging, email and mobile internet.
