Looking at it analytically, the only reason Europen wireless could offer this rather unimpressive feat ahead of the US is because of a regulatory ban on standards competition which we permit in the US, and as a result a US company developed the standard on which all 3g systems will be based; including UMTS.

To say, at this point in time that Europe is superior to the US in wireless because of what it was able to do with 2g telephony 5 or so years ago is kinda like bragging about some company that made the best propellor planes at the dawn of the jet age.

So yeah, with 2 nationwide rollouts of 1x this year,while GPRS and WCDMA fizzle and fume, I'd say the US is ahead of Europe in wireless, analytically speaking.
