Rogers Wireless will see its subscriber market share increase over the next five years

• Also, Telus Mobility's market share will increase slightly from 28.6% in 2009 to 29.1% in 2014.

The overall ARPU level expected to decrease over the next several years
• Our model predicts that the industry will see an overall decrease in operator ARPUs over the next five years.

• On the other hand, average ARPU levels at Bell Mobility and Telus Mobility will decline to C$ 51.19 and C$ 40.52 respectively in 2014, according to our model.
