Editor’s Note: The RCR research and editorial staffs have compiled this list of the 20 largest wireless equipment dealers in the United States based on survey responses and interviews with industry contacts.
Ranking is based on estimated gross product sales for the past 12 months. This includes wireless equipment sales revenue only, excluding activation commissions, residuals and leasing revenue.
Many agents and resellers of wireless service are not included on this list because the bulk of their revenue stream is from activation fees, residuals and carrier rebates-not equipment sales.
This is a list of independent equipment retailers. Carriers with their own direct retail channels such as Nextel Communications Inc. and Pittencrieff Communications Inc. also are excluded.
The RCR Top 20 is the property of RCR Publications Inc. and should not be construed as an endorsement for the companies listed. Information concerning company ranking cannot be reprinted without written permission from this company. -Jerry Blake, Research Editor.1996, RCR Publications Inc.
