All rights reserved.Page 2March 5, 2007 2 Description of Contents: The attached file contains Yankee Group’s analysis of the price and volume relationship of handsets imported into the Indian market. The analysis is based on comprehensive import data from Indian government sources. Data describes the landed cost of imported units by manufacturer, primary air- interface technology, unit volume, and model designation. In this exercise, particular attention is paid to the comparative trending between CDMA and GSM units. Data in this analysis does not represent the entirety of handset volumes selling into the Indian market at a wholesale or retail level. The Yankee Group notes that, since 2004, significant domestic manufacturing capacity has been established by leading manufacturers such as Samsung, LG, and Nokia, among others. Units produced in these facilities are estimated to contribute 44% of total market volumes. Units produced in these facilities are also known to be exported. The price data used in this and previous analysis does not include additional fees and costs such as import duties, insurance, and other costs related to distribution that may be reflected at the retail, wholesale, or transfer level. Average selling price (ASP) terminology refers only to landed price data reported by official Indian government sources, and does not convey wholesale or retail price expectations. Since additional costs are generally applicable to all units, Yankee expects that the relative trends between GSM and CDMA volumes highlighted are valid. Yankee Group has reported on this market’s dynamics previously, relying on exhaustive Indian Customs import data obtained from a third party, Infodrive India Pvt. Ltd of Calcutta, India.
