4 billion GSM protocol family connections in September 2009

The GSM protocol family will soon reach 4 billion connections. And no end is in sight. The Chinese TD standards so far cannot technically compete it seems but that could well change in the next few years; half of these connections are in China. The winner was and currently is GSM-based technology though and as GigaOm noted:

GSM has economies of scale working for it; that’s why it’s gaining traction in fast-growing teleconomies such as Brazil, India, Russia and Africa.
