BOSTON-The North American GSM Alliance L.L.C. announced more than 2.3 million Global System for Mobile communications customers exist in the United States and Canada.
“GSM’s growth continues to outpace rival digital personal communications services technologies,” said GSM Alliance Chairman Don Warkentin, president and chief executive officer of Aerial Communications. “Our third-quarter customer totals are up 158 percent from the same period last year.”
