biggest cellular carriers

  • Can you sort this list of US cellular carriers, in terms of market share, from biggest to smallest? If there are a bunch of very small ones at the bottom, sorting isn't important for them. see http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=727502#a


  • I would imagine market share and number of subscribers are directly proportional.


  • Awesome... this answers it!
