The reason I don't see how they could be saying that this faster data service is W-CDMA is that they say that the faster data service will be ready before the slower data service (GPRS) and the faster one will be ready next year. Is the W-CDMA time frame anywhere close to 2002? Maybe VOD is just giving the optimistic time frame for WCDMA.

`Recognizing the cost of build out we will focus on dense, intensely populated areas,'' said Thomas Geitner, chief executive of Group Products and
Services for Vodafone. ``In areas of less intense customer usage we will use GPRS.''

European phone companies are expected to offer the faster wireless services by next year. Vodafone said it's on track to offer the services by that time
and will focus on rolling out slower services this year.
