Forseable future: Orange launches 56 kbps 1Q2000 in the UK (a country that is usually a laggard within the European mobile industry) and I confidently expect to have a phone and service at far higher speeds next Christmas. It is only then that I will have to wait for the next step (for the broadband rates) which are slated for around 3 years from now. Testing, becoming available and commercial reality are three separate steps that more often than not take longer than expected. The mobile infrastructure for Europe has been tested (even Edge at well over 384kbps) for some 2 years now. Commercial roll-out is happening now. the problem is the commercial reality and that problem is mainly based on tow things: (1) The changing role of the operator (never to be underestimated the move to packet) (2) the lack of commercially available handsets. M PS Orange will launch its 56kbps service with a mobile video phone.....and I really can't see that being a "must have".
