Can you sort this list of US cellular carriers, in terms of market
share, from biggest to smallest? If there are a bunch of very small
ones at the bottom, sorting isn't important for them. see

All the regions of the world are here.

United States
These are the largest mobile phone companies in the United States, by
number of subscribers. The primary cellular technology used by each
carrier is shown in parentheses.

Cingular (IS-136, GSM, UMTS)(Joint venture: 60% owned by SBC, 40%
owned by BellSouth) - 50.0 million
Verizon Wireless (IS-2000) (44% owned by Vodafone, 56% owned by
Verizon Communications) - 44 million
Sprint PCS3 (IS-2000) - 22.2 million
T-Mobile (GSM) - 17.3 million
Nextel3 (iDEN) - 15.3 million
ALLTEL4 (IS-2000) - 8 million
US Cellular (IS-136, IS-2000) - 4.8 million
Virgin Mobile USA (IS-2000) - 3 million
Dobson Communications (IS-136, GSM) - 1.6 million
Cricket Communications (IS-2000) - 1.5 million
Western Wireless4 (IS-136, IS-2000, GSM) - 1.2 million
Centennial Wireless (IS-136, GSM) - 0.5 million
3Sprint PCS and Nextel have agreed to merge. Together they will have
nearly 37.5 million subscribers.

4As of Jan 2005, ALLTEL is buying Western Wireless. Together they
would have 9.2 million subscribers.

In North America, IS-2000 is commonly known as CDMA. IS-136 is known
as TDMA. However, CDMA and TDMA are general terms that can refer to
several different technologies.

I would imagine market share and number of subscribers are directly proportional.

Awesome... this answers it!
