"Telia International Carrier (TIC), which currently provides GPRS roaming exchange (GRX) services to six mobile operators across its European network, is currently handling about one megabyte of data per month in terms of GPRS service traffic.

If that Mbyte was charged at a rate comparable to Vodafone Group PLC's (NYSE: VOD - message board) business user rates for GPRS-enabled data downloads (see Vodafone Launches (Expensive) GPRS Euro Roaming ), TIC is transferring less than $10-worth of GPRS data between Europe's mobile operators. Nurse, call the revenue doctor, and quick!!"

==========

I had to repeat an excerpt from the piece I posted this morning - as its message is quite remarkable.

As an exercise:

1) Go to the Nokia board and read all about the wonders of GPRS roaming - and how important roaming is for the success of GPRS, especially for business use.

2) Then listen to NOK's CC from this morning - and their projections for GPRS in the 2nd half and 03.

3) Then let the FACTS slowly sink in.

Telia, currently providing "GPRS roaming exchange services to six mobile operators across its European network, is currently handling about one megabyte of data per month in terms of GPRS service traffic."

6 operators - 1MB of data roaming between them per month.

Somebody's living in a dream.
