We are pleased to publish the first annual PricewaterhouseCoopers Global Wireless Industry Survey.

This survey is a continuation of the past 11 years of the North American Survey and for 2008 has been expanded to include global wireless operators. The expansion of the survey globally also reflects the ever-growing importance of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the United States and Canada adoption in the future of IFRS. The global survey will provide the opportunity for carriers to compare and contrast the two frameworks. This year’s survey begins to articulate differences.

The goal of the survey is to help companies understand industry performance measures and their evolution over time, policies and procedures utilized by responding companies, and to help companies better understand the comparability of financial statements within the industry. We also have a goal of addressing general financial accounting and reporting practices in the industry and identifying emerging trends or issues.

The survey has become a resource for many wireless communication industry executives and has evolved with the changing businesses and trends of the industry.
