[QUOTE=&quot;FOX TV, post: 80417, member: 4493&quot;]I think you mean the CEA (Consumer Electronics Association) when it comes to the &quot;Magic Rabbit Ears&quot;, but since the CEA and CTIA (Cell Telephone Industry Association) have been joined at the hip in their goose step toward world domination it doesn't surprise me that they would get confused.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Not so, this agency has been in existence since 1984, and has not always been simply an advocate of the Cell phone Industry, they now have a much broader role when they were looking for a reason to justify their existence, so they took on the role of Cell Industry advocate to justify their voice and meaning.From Wiki PediaHistoryCTIA provides a semi-annual industry survey that tracks trends and use patterns in the high-velocity growth market for new devices, new services and consumer choices. Conducted since 1985, these surveys cover direct employment, number of cell sites, major categories of industry revenues, the average local monthly bill, the average length of call and other metrics. The average local monthly bill includes voice and data usage and is developed on a weighted basis, to avoid skewing the figures. It is not an average of averages. No adjustments are made to these figures.[10]The survey tracks the growing trend toward consumers using more wireless data service, which includes statistics on wireless data revenues and wireless data traffic. The survey also develops information on the number of reported wireless subscriber units or &amp;#8220;connections&amp;#8221; for the responding systems, and an estimated total wireless connections figure for the United States taking into account non-responding systems, which is quite small, as CTIA receives responses from companies serving more than 95 percent of wireless subscriber connections.As this history indicates, they have not always been A cell phone only associated industry, as they had to have other interests to justify their existence....and they did have great influence over the advertising and the overall outcome of the transition.[/QUOTE]
