Must he? How about Hutchison, one of the world's leading operators? Let's look at what is happening with Hutch. 1) It landed one of the British W-CDMA licenses through a North American collaborator. 2) It plans to bid for French and German W-CDMA licenses. 3) It won the Australian 1800 Hz spectrum auction through extremely aggressive bidding austel.gov.au 4 It plans to build a nationwide GSM-1800 network in Australia and then migrate to GPRS and W-CDMA it.fairfax.com.au Key quotes: "We now hold a most strategic asset which will secure future growth opportunities for Hutchison over the next 15 years,'' Hutchison managing director Barry Roverts-Thomson said. Hutchison said it planned to construct a high-speed data network in each of the licence areas, possibly employing general packet radio service (GPRS) technology with enhanced data for GSM evolution (EDGE) enhancement. ********* So... it looks like Hutchison has suddenly and aggressively adopted a global GSM-GPRS-W-CDMA strategy. This is the same company that built a IS-95 network in two Australian cities. But apparently there has been a change of heart during the last two years. Now Hutchison believes that GSM, GPRS and W-CDMA are the keys to mobile internet. Mmmmm... dumb as a fox? This development is the key to understanding the Asian mobile internet situation and what will happen to Hong Kong and China. Eric... I think we both know what will happen in Brazil next. There is only one second generation digital standard that is getting a bundle of new turn-key contracts in the year 2000. From Italy to Australia to Turkey to Czech Republic to Morocco to South America. Entirely new GSM-1800 networks with instantaneous GPRS and WAP orders on the top. Tero
