Industry talks up demand as 3G launch nears - Ian Lynch, Vnunet
More network capacity, more speed and enriched capabilities, says UMTS chairman Europe's investment in third-generation (3G) phones will be paid back within 10 years, the chairman of an industry association has claimed, just weeks before the UK's first 3G service is set for launch. Speaking at a Berlin event to showcase mobile services, Dr Bernd Eylert, outgoing chairman of the UMTS Forum, suggested that mobile customers in Europe are already on an evolutionary path to UMTS. "While voice will continue to dominate usage patterns for many years to come, 3G comes into its own as customers demand high bandwidth services like video conferencing, multiplayer gaming and high-speed internet access," he said.
