	Virgin Mobile off to good start \| CNET News.com
		Virgin Mobile USA and its main competitior, Nextel Communications' Boost Mobile, have essentially the same formula for nabbing this juicy demographic: inexpensive, low-frill phones; Web-based ways of buying more airtime; and no long-term contracts.
		Virgin Mobile's first reports did have some down notes, though, especially about how often subscribers use SMS, or short message service--160-character, text-only e-mails that are supposed to earn wireless carriers very large revenue in years to come.
		Virgin Mobile USA users average about two SMS notes a day, which is a disappointment, Reiter said.
