They have done NOTHING to inform people on what GPRS is or what it can
do. They have provided NO applications or services.
Now the only chance they have is to price it right -- like SMS.
Don't hold you breath! These people are special.

An interesting little factoid from the UK, rather like that low level of
Foma usage on Foma.
A fifth of all handsets sold in the UK by the Carphone Warehouse, the
biggest phone retailer in the country, were GPRS in Q1. That's about
35,000
units.
And how many of those people used GPRS network services?
200.
This reminds me of the days when SMS was installed on all phones, but it
took months and months before it took off and then boom.
So where's the "Tipping Point"?
