Gartner predicts that sales for the year will fall just shy of one billion phones. Sales should reach 986 million units by the end of the year, the research group said. Europe, one of the most mature mobile phone markets in the world, showed just 1.9 percent growth over the same quarter last year. Asia Pacific experienced the most dramatic gains, with sales of 80.8 million units during the third quarter, an increase of 54.7 percent over the same period last year. That significant growth happened despite a decline in sales of 4.7 percent in Japan compared to the third quarter in 2005. An increase in retail outlets and better distribution channels in emerging markets such as Indonesia, Philippines and India significantly offset that loss though, driving growth in the region. Other regions of the world also reported solid growth. In Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, sales grew 19 percent compared to last year, to 48 million phones. North American sales reached 40.8 million units, up 12 percent. Sales in Latin America grew 13.7 percent over the same time last year, to 29.8 million phones. Gartner reported that the smaller phone makers will increasingly struggle to compete against the giants. In the third quarter, Nokia, Motorola and Samsung together accounted for 68 percent of phone sales.

Alam Sat, 14 Jun 2008 16:17:31 +0000 http://www.pakspectator.com/the-growth-of-cell-phone-industry/#comment-37246 Malik Sahib, all I am trying to say is that we have to learn to live responsibly with the freedoms that are available now finally. For me it is difficult to comprehend the demands of putting restrictions; there will always be certain things that might be in contradiction to my sense of propriety which can not mean that the others must be restricted by authority. Like I said a sense of responsibility must be developed. I personally don't like to wear my religion on my sleaves and I have developed for my personal conduct an ethical guidelines which can be described in two words. RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES. I do not commit crimes because I CONSIDER IT MY RESPONSIBILITY NOT TO INFRINGE UPON SOMEONE ELSE'S RIGHTS. I am not in the business of doing deals with my God; my good deeds are not done for rewards but because I CONSIDER IT MY RESPONSIBILITY AND RIGHTS OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT MY CONDUCT SHOULD BE OF SOME VALUE, AT LEAST IT SHOULD NOT HURT ANYONE. You know what I am trying to say? Good must be done for the sake of goodness and not for a place in paradise or seventy virgins. I can do without this enticement. Saleem Khan's point is valid and this is the beauty of competition; I would like to see such "cut throat" competition in other sectors, too. If these services provide an opportunity to people to find mates, or "Soul Mates" like Farid Massod suggests, why not? it takes two 'to tango'. It is better to do "this" with consent of someone rather than bug people in search of such ventures (I hope you find this also a better solution to save us the unsolicited obnoxious calls). If it is used for "prostitutions", it's even a better and more efficient use of scarce resources. Have great, great rest of the evening!

If Islam had not restricted you from Haram, would you really be able to restrict yourself from every Haram act?

This LNO (Late Night Option) was first introduced by Mobilink under Limited Time Offer tag. Basic purpose of this offer was to attract customers for limited time and then go back on routine packages. But in just few days, Ufone and Telenor followed same strategy to safe guard their customers too. Now all companies are offering same service and its not possible for any one company to stop this option. It will result in switching Prepaid customers to other networks. So, this limited time offer become permanent right now. If all these companies will make cartel then they can set their desired rate otherwise they have to follow cut throat competition.

LEARNING TO BE RESPONSIBLE IS YOUR DUTY - SERVICE PROVIDERS CAN'T TRAIN YOU TO BE A MORE RESPONSIBLE PERSON OR A BETTER HUMAN BEING. CAN THEY? YOU ARE TOO JUDGEMENTAL - DO YOU THINK GROWN UP PEOPLE MAY DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG? HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE CONCEPT SUCH AS RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES? Y'ALL SOUND LIKE PRIMARY SCHOOL "MASTER JEES" OR BETTER STILL THE HALF EDUCATED IF NOT OUTRIGHT HALF ASSED "MULLAH" TALKING TO HIS KIND SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. “proper use calls for our responsibility.”
