* Note: ‘Regionally’ charts all use the same 8 region split that the Almanac
and PhoneBook and Forecast series from TomiAhonen Consulting has used. It
separates the rich parts of Asia from the Emerging World parts (ie numbers from
rich and advanced mobile market Japan are not averaged into numbers from poor
Asian countries like India or Bangladesh). The 8 regions are: North America;
West Europe; East Europe; Asia-Pacific Advanced; Asia Emerging Countries;
Middle East; Africa; Latin America. Australia and Oceania is counted into the ‘Asia-Pacific
Advanced’ region. Many other resources only split the world by 6 geographic
continents and thus give far less precision in the numbers of the actual
markets where obviously India is very different from Japan, in mobile.
The Tomi Ahonen Almanac 2017 is optimized for
reading on handheld devices and other eBook readers in 14 point text on a page
size of A5. It is an invaluable comprehensive reference resource for
professionals in the industry to carry along for the latest statistical data on
the industry.
There is a brand parallel edition published in December
2016,
please do not buy the wrong book.
The parallel edition to the
TomiAhonen Almanac comes out every two years and
latest out is the TomiAhonen
Phone Book 2016.
Where the Almanac looks at the
total mobile industry from
consumers and
subscriptions to services and applications to
handsets
and terminals to networks and infrastructure, and all
the related
usage and revenues of the total mobile telecoms
industry,
the TomiAhonen Phone
Book focuses on the
handsets
side of the industry with smartphones, featurephones,
dumbphones,
smartphone operating systems and related
phones-industry
stats like installed bases, market shares,
average
retail prices, feature adoption, regional comparisons etc.
The format
is the same as the Almanac, but the Phone Book
has 98 tables and charts all specific to the handset industry.

for example wrote about it like this on 18 February 2009: "if you are interested in mobile statistics you really
need to pick up a copy of Tomi Ahonen's
Almanac 2009. It's Tomi's latest
eBook, a compilation of mobile
statistics. The almanac is full of hard to find information like: The total
number of mobile Internet users: 1.05 billion, which in 2008 for the first time surpassed the total number
of PC Web users (1 billion). Average mobile phone replacement cycle: 14 months;
Percentage of mobile content revenue derived from adult entertainment: 5% in
2008."
Russell Buckley the European MD of Admob and the Chairman of the
Mobile Marketing Association, who blogs at Mobhappy, wrote this about the Almanac on 13 Feb
2009 in this way: "Whenever I need a
stat, Tomi seems to have it, so I'd highly recommend this for any aspiring
mobile fact junkie. And no, I don't get commission or anything grubby."
