CTIA Numbers don’t add up

CTIA released its 2006 numbers at the show. Some of them don’t add up. For e.g. they noted 233M subs by end of 2006 however their ticker is showing 234M as of March 07. One of them is clearly incorrect. Secondly, they noted that data service revenue was $15.2B. Again, the top 4 operators published numbers added up to $14.4B, rest of the industry (with over 43M subs) generally generates over 10% which takes the numbers to $15.8B which we had earlier reported.
