Complete BS. VOD sold its position in Orange due to competition rules in the UK and EU (i.e. you can not have substantial -controlling- interests in 2 GSM operators in one country). Mannesmann was similar due to its own positions elsewhere!.

From the451.com "Wireless carrier Sprint PCS will launch 2.5-generation technical trials by the end of this year, followed by a national roll out of the network in 2002, to increase capacity and handle data services more efficiently. Sprint says it will launch the service to companies and consumers at the same time."

It continues,"Sprint's 2.5G network, based on cdmaOne 1XRTT packet-based technology, will be upgraded from Sprint's existing CdmaOne 14.4 kbps circuit-switched network. In theory, the 2.5G network can reach speeds of 144Kbps, but it's more likely to attain similar speed as the 56K modem."

Funny you talk about the doom and gloom of GPRS in Europe, when even an example touted by many is only going to be in a tech trial by the end of this year!!!

GPRS is installed in most major operators in Europe, yes getting the phones is the problem...as it was when GSM first came out. READ: It is normal.

You do not need a GPRS license!

Please try and get facts correct before posting. I don't know your real occupation, but mine is Telecom Consultant.
