SAN FRANCISCO-AirTouch Communications Inc. said it doubled its international customer base in the last year, for a total of 2 million proportionate cellular customers outside the United States.
AirTouch’s share of customers from its international ventures in 11 countries are included in that figure. The total number of subscribers on all of AirTouch’s international networks is 8.7 million.
The company said the growth is due to new systems being launched in India, Poland, Romania and South Korea, as well as its increased ownership of ventures in fast-growing markets including Italy, Portugal and Spain.
