Tero, I did a little "digging" for you on the French GPRS problem. It seems that MOT was involved there, but the problem was determined to be ERICY's infrastructure, which Sonera has deployed, also.
You would think in journalistic fairness, it would be important to mention in your article that ERICY was involved with MOT in the last "GPRS disaster de Jour" and was the root of France Telecom's postponement.

France Telecom is forced to postpone the launch of GPRS
France Telecom, a national operator, has been forced to delay its launch of GPRS services from the end of 2000 to some unspecified time in the first quarter of 2001. The company says that the delay is a result of the several difficulties that Ericsson, the manufacturer based in Sweden, had experienced. SFR, a France Telecom rival and a subsidiary of Vivendi, asserts that it already operates a GPRS network in Paris, France, and will offer national coverage by 15 November 2000.
