3GNewsroom.com has posted a summary of CDMA adoption worldwide as of Q2 2004. It’s particularly interesting to see the uptake of CDMA2000 1xEV-DO and to note that the fastest growing region for CDMA by number of users is Asia-Pacific, not the Americas as many people might suspect given CDMA’s prominance in North America and the recent rapid growth of Vivo in Brazil.

More information on CDMA2000 technologies is available from the 3GPP2 site.
