It is part of AT&T's plan as EDGE is considerably less expensive to deploy...so expect WCMA/UMTS in metropolitan areas with EDGE covering the rest of the country. In many of the countries which have acutioned licenses, new operators have been chosen....wont these operators be forced to build nationwide networks? I can't imagine that they are willing to pay roaming fees to well over 90% of a nation (coverage wise). Also, the following article seems to indicate that infrastructure costs are well below what was previously thought.... Message 15020113 Hutchison Whampoa told analysts it will spend £3bn rolling out its third generation - or 3G - mobile phone network in the UK - down from a previous estimate of up to £5bn, according to leaks from the meeting. MobilCom will invest 1.6bn euros on its German network. "At first we expected a total of five to six billion euros. We'll save a third of that over 10 years," MobilCom's chairman Gerhard Schmid told the German magazine Telebörse. Also, have you heard of any further developments on EDGE? There have been a variety of articles which indicated that development of EDGE had been slow....which is why T decided on another upgrade route. If T could have stuck with EDGE, they likely could have had roaming with NTT through the W-CDMA/EDGE terminals you mentioned. I-mode would have worked just as well over EDGE...why even go GSM?
