Keith:

<Since the UMTS spectrum has already been bought and paid for in Europe, operators must NOW decide what they want to for data solutions.>

Why would they spend billions of dollars to implement (data only) solutions (which have an unknown market). Seems like it would be more "Cost effective" to just deploy ole'. "Plain Jane" GSM 2100.. That way, the still have an easy migration path to WCDMA someday! But, they at least have a product in "voice" that they know they can sell today?"

The installation of GSM 2100 is by far the "cheapest alternative" for those operators that have already purchased UMTS licenses".. and these days. Cheaper... is Better!!!

It's only a matter of time before GSM2100 is announced, and contracts garnered!
IMO.
