SUMMARY
This research service provides an snapshot look at the High Capacity SIM card
market at a global level. This is an extension of the Global SIM smart card
market study which is done each year. The study will be global, with global
forecasts as the market is very new. Some regional references might be made,
but the vast majority of the study will focus on the penetration of high
capacity SIM cards at a global level.
The base year for this study is 2006.
