My point being, CDMA exists in both China and India. The post I quoted implied these countries were GSM only.
And yes, 74 Mil is less than 564 mil. However, between China, India, and the US, there is a sufficient market to make Apple a very nice profit on a CDMA iPhone. If there weren't, other manufacturers would have stopped making CDMA phones completely.
