>> Why wouldn't a European carrier upgrade/switch their GSM networks to 1X/HDR and compete with its GPRS rivals? << Because member states of the European Union are required by treaty to comply with ETSI. ETSI doesn't allow 1X/HDR overlays in commercial systems. The carriers must operate according to law. A switch to 1X/HDR is not an option open to them. >> We've also heard from Mark Roberts that ETSI may be softening its stance on allowing other "CDMA" technologies. << This was based on a diplomatic note sent to the U.S in the posturing prior to the WRC 2000 meeting in Istanbul. They said they should not would allow other ITU approved standards. They didn't. A compromise was then proposed in which they would open up but with each country guaranteeing that at least one carrier in their country would use the European UMTS standard. That too was shot down. Stop clinging to an old out of date comment by Mark Roberts. Subsequent actions, not words from Europe have extinguished that faint hope.
