"Britains big four networks - Vodafone, Orange, O2 and T-Mobile - with the new entrant 3, spent more than £22 billion on Government licences to run 3G services."
"Nearly five years on from the Government auction most consumers appear content with phones that can make calls, send texts or snap the odd photo or two. Indeed, many of the newest and sleekest handsets are designed to operate solely on the existing GSM digital network."
"With most of the teething troubles now resolved and customer numbers on the rise in more mature markets, optimists believe 2005 could be the year when 3G mobile services finally gain a global audience."
"Nokias head of mobile phone marketing, Heikki Norta, thinks music via mobiles will be the next big breakthrough, on the back of the iPod phenomenon."
"Consumers are already used to listening to music when they are on the move," he notes.
Etc etc - interesting reading/discussion.
