Competitive pressures are forcing wireless service providers to streamline their business and technology strategies to offer more and better services to their customers. Wireless operators around the world are in the process of modifying their networks to offer 3G services to subscribers. This paper presents the dynamics of competition in wireless technologies using the Arthur’ model, especially comparing two competing technologies; WCDMA and cdma2000. Our preliminary results show that the fundamental market instability (i.e., fluctuation) in the initial competition stage is gradually stabilized during the competition, and finally locked in the market after a certain period. In addition, we find that the market dominance affects on potential customers’technology choice, as rational expectations yield path dependency.
