With previous editions of this report going back over 15 years, NBI/Michael Sone Associates'
Canadian Mobile Wireless Communications Services Market Report, 2010 Edition continues to
be the most comprehensive study published on this industry.
The report examines the cellular, wireless messaging and mobile data markets in Canada, focusing
on both services currently offered and probable future developments of the industry. Of particular
importance is the role played by the new entrants that promise innovative voice and data plans
that portend increasing market competitiveness.
The report opens with an Executive Summary that offers the reader a snapshot of the industry's
relevant issues, specifically the service providers' performance, market share, penetration and
future direction as indicated by the key metrics of their subscriber acquisition and growth, ARPU,
usage rates and churn.
Thereafter are two sections that contain detailed profiles of the incumbent and new entrant
wireless service providers respectively, their recent market performance and activities as well as
predictions for the future. The discussion focuses on the effects of different airtime and mobile
data plans, pre-paid packages, messaging and other value-added services, marketing programs and
distribution channels on revenues, subscriber growth, usage patterns, acquisition costs and
capital spending.
Nine comprehensive Exhibits illustrate service provider-specific data including projections to
2013 for subscriber and revenue growth, provincial analysis, segmentation between business &
consumer accounts, breakdown between voice & data revenues and detail on SMS traffic and revenues.
