Food and water are life's necessities -- but perhaps it's time to add smartphones to the list? According to the CTIA, a U.S.-based trade association that represents the wireless communications industry, 98% of Americans own a cellphone, and 89% of those surveyed said they can't live without their smartphone. In fact, Americans view wireless access in their community as more important than having good schools.
Wireless service operators, headed by AT&T (NYSE: T) , Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) , and T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) , collectively generated more than $352 billion in revenue last year. Despite the U.S. wireless market being saturated, this highly competitive industry can be exceptionally profitable for wireless service providers that stand out.
