Pitney Bowes MapInfo, the leading global provider of location
intelligence solutions, and The Gadberry Group, a provider of
information data products, today announced the fastest growing
wireless markets based on population growth. Interestingly, these
high population growth areas are the same cities highlighted in the
recent 700 MHz spectrum auction conducted by the Federal
Communications Commission, where companies, such as Verizon
Wireless, AT&T and Google, all bid for the previously analog
television broadcasting frequency. Pitney Bowes MapInfo and the
Gadberry Group looked at the percentage increase in community
households between 2000 and 2007 to identify the fastest growing
Cellular Market Areas (CMA), which are specific location blocks
divided by Advanced Wireless Services. The following list
highlights the major U.S. cities based on the largest number of
high-growth communities. These locations represent significant
market opportunities for wireless providers. Rank � City � Number
of High-Growth Communities 1 � Dallas Fort-Worth, Texas � 19
Communities 2 � Houston, Texas � 8 Communities 3 � Phoenix, Arizona
� 6 Communities 3 � Austin, Texas � 6 Communities 4 � Chicago,

MapInfo and The Gadberry Group saw a direct correlation between
communities with the largest population growth and hot bidding
locations during the recently completed 700 MHz auction,� said
Chris Cherry, director of communications industry strategy, Pitney
Bowes MapInfo. �The auction was a great opportunity for wireless
providers to increase their presence in new areas. By using
location intelligence to pinpoint specific CMAs with high growth
potential, carriers are better able to determine the best locations
to increase bidding prices and more intelligently build out their
wireless network services.� About Gadberry Group The Gadberry Group
