NOTAS: | "Europe's 3g Concessions are estimated to have cost licensees in the region of GBP100 billion. Add to this mammoth cost of rolling out new generation network infrastructure and the not insignificant outlay involved in the testing of networks and the total start-up figure may jump to GBP300 billion. The sheer size of this figure has ensured that operators are anxious to launch services as soon as possible so that they can begin the herculean task of recouping costs. Packed with cogent analysis and independently sourced facts and figures on the current situation, and rigorous projections of the next ten years for 3G, "3G in Europe" is the best reports available on this vital technology." |
