I have seen and talked with Finnish and Scandinavian
countries and I get the impresssion that they are
betting on GPRS to be big. It is partly because they
did not have to play for liceses for that spectrum
unlike 3G licenses.
The Japanese are going full speed with 3G with FOMA.
What doe the Europeans have that makes them want GPRS
so bad instead of following the Japanese with 3G and
this point in time?
