"The Strategis Group, a research firm, predicts that 84 percent of new cars sold in 2004 will feature some form of telematics equipment, and Forrester Research estimates that telematics will become a $20 billion industry worldwide by 2006."
As I recall, there are approximately 400,000 ECLIPSE units already in consumers hands, which all can be upgraded with the new ECLIPSE unit coming out this summer. I believe the first order is for 4000 units and a doubling of that order is expected. (couldn't find the blurb stating the size of the ECLIPSE existing market...just from memory but would appreciate anyone who has that info at their fingertips to post it) TIA
It appears there is lots of room for growth in the after market as well as the potential for factory installed units down the road.
And for 20 cents...
