UMTS requirements always continue to rise (sic!)


The war of nerves around the desired UMTS Mobilfunklizenzen does not seem to find also after the exceeding of the 90-Mrd-DM boundary an end. After 162. Bieterrrunden was achieved the total of 93.35 billion DM.

An end of the auction is prevented since the door by Debitel / Swisscom particularly by the two portable radio giants D2-Mannesmann and the German Telekom daughter t-mobile. Both enterprises continue to offer for three frequency blocks. So that the enterprises can receive however a large frequency package, a further Bieter would have to step out. As a possible door candidate the group of G3 von Sonera and Telefonica is considered.

Around adequate UMTS services to offer according to expert opinion two frequency blocks would be sufficient. The third frequency block can only refine the UMTS services. With a large frequency package t-mobile and man man could prevent however that too many new A risers make the portable radio market contentious for them.

The location Germany will profit from UMTS, avowed Federals Minister for Economic Affairs Werner Mueller. The auction of the licenses forms the prelude for Millliardeninvestitionen into the portable radio generation of the future. From it in the substantial measure also the German enterprises would profit. Up to the year 2010 for Germany 30 millions UMTS customers are expected.

In many places it is however feared that the current Handy users must pay for the high UMTS requirements. Now the German federation for post office and telecommunications advanced toward that. Germany has other countries compared with much to high portable radio fees, explained the federation. Up to the introduction of UMTS in three years the Telekom enterprises would have sufficient time to make much cash. The prices would long-term however rather be decreasing.
